In this episode of The Youth Ledger, host Shiven Diwakar sits down with Eli Lehrer, president of the R Street Institute, to explore how free markets can solve public problems, from climate change and crop insurance to online speech and AI innovation. With decades of experience in public policy and think tank leadership, Mr. Lehrer brings a unique libertarian-conservative lens to topics like federal disaster relief, government overreach, and the role of regulation in innovation. If you've ever wondered whether markets or mandates are the better fix, this is the episode for you.
