Keep Defending Your Freedom: Barbara Kolm on Liberty, Economics & the Future of the West

In this Liberty Roundtable Live interview from FreedomFest, Sam Bushman speaks with Barbara Kolm, an Austrian economist and member of Austria’s Parliament, about the future of individual liberty, free markets, and constitutional government. Kolm discusses her Austrian School economic philosophy, her political involvement with Austria’s Freedom Party, and her concerns over government debt, excessive spending, taxation, and the decline of private investment.

The conversation also explores immigration, healthcare, government power, Austrian neutrality, and the differences between European and American political systems. Kolm argues for sound money, lower taxes, reduced government spending, stronger property rights, and greater individual responsibility. Despite concerns about Europe’s economic direction, she remains optimistic that free markets and the division of labor can help restore prosperity. Her closing message is simple: “Keep defending your freedom,” which she describes as the most important good society possesses.
