Where should liberty end and regulation begin? Should someone be required against their will to bake a cake for everyone and not be allowed to deny service to anyone? People can look at the same situation and see a completely different side of the coin.
 
In this episode, I philosophize again on economic liberty with Libertarian and fellow podcast host Eric Benzenhoefer in light of the Supreme Court ruling regarding a bakery baking a cake for a homosexual couple. In order for society to more fully pursue ideals, we must have an idea of what those ideals should look like. Pursuing this, we consider liberty, its interplay with economic prosperity, and the moral implications of laws.
 
Key Points in the Podcast:
-The details of the Supreme Court cake situation
-The founding fathers of America seemed to believe liberty would beget economic prosperity
-Laws might better be based on morals/principals rather than outcomes
-Society ought not obligate someone to violate their moral convictions
-God endows us with our Rights
-We should not violate property rights because they are sacred
-Ownership (of property) incentivizes stewardship and production
-We could benefit economically from instituting some of the policies God gave the Israelites
