Łukasz Dominiak: Is Europe's Future in the East?

Our returning guest this weekend is Łukasz Dominiak, a professor at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland, and also a former summer fellow at the Mises Institute. Jeff and Łukasz discuss the recent elections in Poland, as well as the street protests that you might not have heard about in western media.

There is actually something very different happening in Eastern Europe, especially in Poland, as compared to Western Europe. The media characterized its recent electrons as a triumph for the right-wing — dismissed as xenophobic nationalism in Poland and other European countries. But the truth as Łukasz explains is quite different: it's a strange mix of both left and right politics in a country that is not afraid to embrace its Catholic roots and its cultural identity.
