How Estonia Survived SOCIALISM & Embraced FREEDOM

Episode 80 is with Dr. Matthew Mitchell, senior fellow in the Centre for Economic Freedom at the Fraser Institute and author of the new book, “The Road to Freedom: Estonia’s Rise from Soviet Vassal State to One of the Freest Nations on Earth.” Today, we discuss: 1) Estonia’s inspiring people-led overthrow of socialism and achieving independence; 2) How it became one of the most economically free nations in the world; and 3) What the U.S. can learn from Estonia about taxes, regulations, freedom, and more. Check out Dr. Mitchell's co-authored book on Estonia. Please share it on social media and provide a rating and review.
