Ep 127 | What Happens When Tyranny Comes Home? | Guest: Christopher Coyne
Matt Kibbe is joined by professor of economics Christopher Coyne to discuss the new book “Tyranny Comes Home.” Coyne’s thesis is that the abuse of military power works like a boomerang, with our nation-building efforts abroad returning to our shores in the form of police militarization, domestic surveillance, and massive civil liberties violations. It’s not actually possible to have a free and open society at home when we insist on acting as the world’s policemen abroad.
