Description

My guest today is the former president of the Swedish Chapter of the Mises Institute, Jon Nylander. We discuss the large welfare state in Sweden and the damage it's doing. There has been a large influx of immigrants into Swedish society in the last few years and rather than assisting various cultures with assimilation, the welfare state is pushing them further apart from each other. Markets bring people together and multiculturalism is much more harmonious but heavy government intervention and state sponsored welfare does the opposite.  Read Jon's article here:  Find me here: Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

The Counterflow Podcast is a weekly show featuring discussions and interviews with people who are outside of and critical toward mainstream liberal and conservative politics. Counterflow challenges the conventional right/left binary and is concerned with the more important distinction of free vs unfree. The show features thinkers from all backgrounds, who do not fit into the narrow framework of fashionable opinion. The show addresses cultural and lifestyle issues as well as philosophy and politics. Host Buck Johnson (formerly of the Death To Tyrants Podcast) is a musician and firefighter and has always had an interest and drive to go one way while everyone else runs the other direction.
