Timothy Allen talks with Mikołaj Pisarski.

Mikołaj is the former president of KoLiber Association and the current president of the Instytut Misesa, Poland’s Mises Institute.

In this conversation we discover Mikolaj’s love for working with young people and his passion for teaching Libertarian principals and the ideas of Austrian economics.  We also talk about Polish history, personal responsibility, parenting strategies and the problems of democracy, as well as a little Anarcho-capitalism and technology thrown in for good measure.
