Christopher Lingle – The Political Economy of Covid | Libertarianism.UK Podcast

Today's guest is Christopher Lingle, a Professor of Economics at the Escuela de Negocios at Universidad Francisco Marroquín in Guatemala and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the American Institute of Economic Research, along with connections to several other academic posts. We spoke about the political economy of Covid, along with other topics related to Covid repression and the possibility of future political repression under the global flag of 'environmental protection'. Along the way, we also mentioned the Great Barrington Declaration, the Swedish response to Covid, the World Economic Forum, and several other tangentially aligned subjects.
