Sandefur explores how libertarian values are woven through important works of visual art, literature, film, and other creative endeavors.
In this episode, Jonathan Fortier talks with Tim Sandefur about his recent book, You Don’t Own Me, published by Libertarianism.org in 2025. The conversation explores themes of liberty, individualism, and personal autonomy as they find expression in novels, films, blues music and architecture, to name just a few of the genres up for discussion.
Important note:
Tim notes that it was Bernard Taupin, not Tim Rice, that wrote the lyrics for “Nikita”
