Mark Monoscalco on The Forbidden Idea, Individual Liberty, and Taking Back Our Institutions
08/11/2026 | 52 mins.
Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty.

Author Mark Monoscalco joins Sean Themea at FreedomFest to explore the ideas behind his book The Forbidden Idea, which features a foreword by Dr. Ron Paul. Mark spent years studying the philosophy and history of liberty, from natural rights and the non-aggression principle to the thinkers and movements that have challenged government power throughout history.

Sean and Mark discuss why liberty means the absence of coercion, the importance of private property and voluntary cooperation, what Ludwig von Mises understood about the failures of socialism, and how ordinary Americans can begin rebuilding a culture of freedom through their families, communities, and local institutions.
