The topic of global justice has long been a concern of people, but the conversation often ignores the work of developmental economists. On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we explore this topic in a book panel discussion of In Defense of Openness: Why Global Freedom Is the Humane Solution to Global Poverty [1]. The panelists discuss the linkage between economic rights and development and whether or not global freedom is rightly correlated with global justice. The panel includes:
- Peter J. Boettke (Moderator), Director of the F.A. Hayek Program & University Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University
- Jason Brennan (Author), Robert J. and Elizabeth Flanagan Family Professor of Strategy, Economics, Ethics, and Public Policy at Georgetown University
- Bas van der Vossen (Author), Associate Professor in the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy
- Anna Stilz (Panelist), Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University
- Kit Wellman (Panelist), Dean of Academic Planning & Professor of Philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis
