This week George H. Smith joins us to talk about Individualism: A Reader , the first in a series of readers published by Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org and the Cato Institute. In it, Smith and his co‐​editor Marilyn Moore have compiled 26 selections from 25 writers on the topic of individualism.

How has the idea of individualism evolved over time? What are some common misconceptions about individualism? Is a commitment to individualism somehow antithetical to the idea of community?
