Martin Cassinni of EqualityStreets.com joins us to discuss the Equality Streets campaign for traffic system reform. We talk about what a traffic system without traffic controls looks like, how it can reduce congestion, frustration, accidents and even death, and how this idea has already been implemented in various cities around the globe. We also explore the social and political implications of the idea that humans can be counted on to react responsibly in the absence of overarching systems of control.

Today Walter Block joins us to discuss his book “Privatization of Roads and Highways.” We discuss common objections to the privatization of roads and their answers, as well as what could be done in a private system to reduce the carnage of the socialized government road system that currently claims the lives of nearly 40,000 people per year in the US and many 10s of thousands more around the world.
