Words & Numbers: Women Prosper When Markets Are Free
This week, in honor of International Women's Day, Antony & James discuss the strong correlation between economic freedom and gender equality found across the world. They argue that if you want to see a world of increasing equality and opportunity for women, you also want to free the economy from central planning and control.
We're also excited to announce that we now have an audio-only version of the Words & Numbers podcast that you can currently listen and subscribe to at https://soundcloud.com/words-and-numbers. The podcast will also be available directly on iTunes as soon as we get approved.

This week on Words & Numbers James and Ant talk about the “safe spaces” movement on college campuses. Spoiler Alert: they don’t think campuses should be all that safe…at least not for ideas. College is the one time in a person’s life when just about every idea is on the table, and we do no one a service by declaring certain topics settled or off limits in the name of making people feel “safe.”
