Show Notes

Author Brad Beck connects an Aesop Fable about the sacrifice of a young ash sampling tree in the forest, which ultimately was used by a woodsman to cut down the other trees in the forest, to Misplaced Generosity in today’s America. Beck explains that generosity can be a virtue, however taking the fruits of one’s labor to redistribute to another through force or coercion harms freedom and the very foundation of our American Idea.
