Steps Toward Freedom and Away From It

by
Two things that are near and dear to the hearts of libertarians are the removal of government occupational licensing and the elimination of government involvement in education. Recent events concerning these issues are good examples of steps toward freedom and steps away from it. Licensing An occupational license is simply a certificate of permission and approval from a government-sponsored board that a jobseeker is required to obtain before he can begin working in a certain occupation. These licenses are most commonly issued by state governments.

by
This talk by FFF president Jacob G. Hornberger is part of the online conference The National-Security State and the Kennedy Administration. In 1960, John Kennedy came into the presidency as pretty much a standard proponent of the Cold War against the communist world.
