Interns Debate: Conservatism vs. Libertarianism

For the first time in half a decade, Heritage Foundation interns and Cato Institute interns will face off to debate some of the biggest policy questions of our time. By digging into controversial issues such as immigration, national security, international trade, and regulation, representatives of each program will seek to answer the question, “Do Libertarians or Conservatives propose more effective solutions to public policy issues?”

The debate will be moderated by the American Enterprise Institute’s Matthew Continetti, a foremost scholar and journalist of the Conservative Movement and author of The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism.

Good debate and good points on both sides. Impressive young adults. Hopefully CATO, Heritage and Mises can work together more on areas they agree on. I think acknowledging that any broad ideology that people adhere to will have a range of views is vital to moving forward. CATO and Heritage are both doing good work on several fronts, but they do not represent the entirety of positions for all republicans and libertarians and never will. Build coalitions where you can.

Quick question, why haven't there been more debates like these much earlier? How else would bad ideas be filtered. Duh.
