About this listen

In this episode of Defenders of Capitalism, Michael Williams and Mitch Whitus sit down with Bob Schaffer, former U.S. Congressman, Chairman of the Leadership Program of the Rockies, and the acclaimed headmaster of Liberty Common School. They have a wide-ranging conversation on liberty, leadership, and the future of education in America.

Schaffer reflects on the values that shaped him, the battles he fought in Washington, and why he ultimately turned to education as the most powerful lever for preserving a free society. The conversation dives into the tensions between public institutions and individual responsibility, the cultural headwinds facing capitalism, and what it really takes to cultivate independent thinkers in today's world.
