The Discernable Interviews
Jeffrey A. Tucker - The Birth of The Great Barrington Declaration
1hr 23min
Jeffrey A. Tucker is a prolific author who has written many thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press. He founded the Brownstone Institute which is the self-described ‘spiritual child of the Great Barrington Declaration’ where you can find a cacophony of rational voices spanning the entire political and academic spectrum. His books are widely published in multiple languages on topics of economics, technology, cryptocurrency, social philosophy, capitalism, Covid-19, government bureaucracy, and culture.
Jeffrey was responsible for the founding of the Great Barrington Declaration and, in my estimation, sits at a nexus of the world’s greatest minds who have the courage to speak truth in the face of overwhelming opposition.
Today he speaks with Discernable about how his worldview has radically changed over the last two years as we all come to realise the extraordinary lengths of time that a crowd madness can last, and the ease with which governments can manipulate their citizens for political gains.
