Encore of What We Get Wrong When Helping The Poor
Enjoy our encore presentation from Season S2, What We Get Wrong When Helping The Poor with Ismael Hernandez.
Ismael Hernandez shares his remarkable journey from Fidel Castro's disciple to advocate for free market principles and individual dignity. He'll detail how coming to the U.S. caused him to re-evaluate free markets and human dignity —but also what it was like as a poor minority to be on the receiving end of charitable programs —and how we can and must do better.
