From hearing about the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia at age 13 to traveling to 96 countries, Larry shares firsthand stories of underground resistance in communist Poland, black markets under authoritarian regimes, and the sobering lessons of visiting Auschwitz. He also explains why the Great Depression wasn’t caused by capitalism, whether America risks repeating Rome’s decline, and why character is essential to advancing liberty. This is a powerful reminder that freedom is never automatic — and must be defended before it’s too late. Voices of Liberty is powered by Young Americans for Liberty.","meta_description":"In this episode of Voices of Liberty, Sean Themea sits down with Lawrence W. “Larry” Reed — President Emeritus of the Foundation for Economic Education —…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4759,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/voices-of-liberty-7648318/episodes/larry-reed-why-liberty-must-be-defended-before-it-s-too-late/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/voices-of-liberty-7648318/larry-reed-why-liberty-must-be-defended-before-it-s-too-late.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
