"Let people do what they want with their own bodies and property": Q&A with Todd Seavey

Views:973
@ReasonVids

"The experience of having everybody around me on campus say the left is the way to go and then...seeing communism collapse made me think maybe the libertarians have a better handle on how these things work," says Todd Seavey, author of the new book Libertarianism for Beginners. "While the Soviet Union existed, the Marxists on campus were rooting for the Soviet Union."

A New York-baseed comic-book writer, one-time producer for TV's own John Stossel, and a contributor to Splice Today, Seavey found his way toward libertarianism while attending Brown University in the late 1980s.

His new graphic book, Libertarianism for Beginners, argues that the core message of libertarians is to "keep the government small and let people do what they want with their own bodies and property."

About 6 minutes.

Interview by Nick Gillespie. Camera by Todd Krainin and Joshua Swain. Edited by Swain. Additional editing by Ian Keyser.
