Join us this Thursday for a live conversation with the 2020 Libertarian Party candidate Spike Cohen and the head of lifestyle economics at the Institute for Economic Affairs Christopher Snowdon to discuss current COVID-19 threats to liberty.
Spike Cohen is a successful business owner, Libertarian activist, and media figure. As the 2020 Libertarian Party candidate for Vice President, coming in third place in the 2020 election, Spike traveled across the nation by plane and bus and met tens of thousands of Americans to share the message of Liberty with them.
Spike started a web design company as a teenager in 1998. In 2017, he retired from web design to focus on Libertarian messaging, entertainment, and activism. This culminated with him becoming the co-owner of Muddied Waters Media, the co-host of The Muddied Waters of Freedom, and the host of My Fellow Americans.
Christopher Snowdon is the head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs. His research focuses on social freedoms, prohibition, and policy-based evidence. He is a regular columnist for EA magazine and an occasional contributor to Spiked, The Critic, and The Telegraph. He often appears on TV and radio discussing social and economic issues.
Snowdon is the editor of the Nanny State Index and the author of six books: ‘Polemics’ (2020), ‘Killjoys’ (2017), ‘Selfishness, Greed and Capitalism’ (2015), ‘The Art of Suppression’ (2011), ‘The Spirit Level Delusion’ (2010) and ‘Velvet Glove, Iron Fist’ (2009). He has also written more than a dozen reports for the Institute of Economic Affairs including ‘Drinking, Fast and Slow’, ‘The Proof of the Pudding: Denmark’s Fat Tax Fiasco’, ‘Cheap as Chips’, ‘Sock Puppets’, and ‘Closing Time: Who’s killing the British pub?’. He blogs at Velvet Glove, Iron Fist.
The conversation will be hosted by Nazlican Kanmaz, Students For Liberty’s strategic research director.
