In this episode of Atlas Network with Michael Carnuccio, property rights are discussed as a fundamental freedom essential for transforming inert, lifeless resources into useful tools and property. Tim and Christina Sandefur from the Goldwater Institute in Arizona share their insights on how their work has reshaped American jurisprudence on property rights. Through initiatives such as Proposition 207 and the Property Ownership Fairness Act, they've ensured fair compensation for property owners affected by government regulations. The discussion explores the challenges of protecting property rights, the significance of the Right to Try movement, and how their partnership in both life and work fuels their impact. The vital role of federalism, citizen involvement, and perspective from the worldwide freedom movement come full circle in this rich, inspiring conversation.
