Ep 126: Mormonism and Libertarianism with Michael South
May 23, 2024
Alex Bernardo

In this episode, I talk with Michael J. South. Michael is a sixth-generation Mormon who believes that libertarianism is the only political philosophy that is compatible with his Mormon faith. He explains his background as a Mormon, key teachings of the Mormon church, and how the Mormon belief in personal agency is essential to the connection between libertarianism and Mormonism. We also discuss the political commitments of the Mormon church in America and the prospects for promoting liberty among his fellow Mormons.
