Liberalism Liberty Politics

Adam Dick talks about the political journey of Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul, a three-time US presidential contender for the Libertarian and Republican parties, and former member of the United States House of Representatives, where he served for three different periods.

During his practice as a physician, Ron Paul began gaining trust among members of his community; this ability helped him to pursue a career in politics. His thoughts were early on influenced by the Austrian economics ideas and his libertarian approach was promoted during his years in Office and present in all his political achievements as member of the US Congress. Though Ron Paul is no longer a politician, he keeps spreading his views through the Ron Paul Institute, an organization focused on non-interventionism and foreign policy issues, where he continues to raise awareness of the libertarian ideas, mainly on young people, which he believes can lead to the creation of a dramatic change in the state’s policies.
