About this episode
Jonathan Fortier interviews David Beito about FDR's presidency and its impact on liberty.
In this episode, Jonathan Fortier talks with David Beito about FDR's rise to the American presidency, and the negative consequences for civil, political and economic liberty. The conversation explores the ways in which Roosevelt was influenced by Wilson, who had promulgated a new formulation of freedom, and Teddy Roosevelt, whose nationalism, coupled with the ideas imported from Bismarck's German thinkers, encouraged a strong movement toward centralization and an increase in federal power.
