Why Plato would’ve de-banked Aristotle

The de-banking of Nigel Farage goes back thousands of years… sort of. It’s part of a never-ending conflict in society between the do-gooders and their naysayers. Or, as philosophers put it, between negative and positive rights.

In this video, Southbank Investment Research’s investment director John Butler and I explain the link between Plato, Aristotle and the “Culture Wars” we’re seeing in society and politics, which go well beyond de-banking, of course.

At the heart of it all is one question: do your so-called betters have the right to interfere in your life to promote their version of “good”?

And if you’d like to hear from Nigel and other guests more often and more conveniently, why not sign up to the Fortune & Freedom podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or Google Podcasts?
