Summary
With Venezuela as an example, he critiques the shortcomings of socialism against the outcomes of free-market systems and considers the effects on U.S. domestic politics, especially around the 2020 elections. He also touches on how culture shapes children's food preferences and looks at the difficulties for people who challenge common opinions. Along the way, he stresses the value of thoughtful discussion and backing those who speak out in public debates.
