Nashville | "Democracy, the Rule of the Mob" with Yaron Brook

AIER’s Bastiat Society program in Nashville will host an event with Yaron Brook.

Join Yaron Brook for a provocative exploration of modern democracy and its implications for individual freedom and societal progress. In this compelling talk, Brook challenges the conventional understanding of democracy, arguing that it often devolves into the rule of the majority without respect for individual rights. Through a critical examination of democratic systems, Brook will address the dangers of mob rule and advocate for a system that prioritizes reason and individual liberty over collective whims. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with thought-provoking ideas on the future of governance and personal freedom.
