The Philosophy of Liberty: What Does It Mean to Be Free?
ThinkTech Hawaii -- TALK STORY WITH KELI'I AKINA, 10/27/2026
Guest: Ken Schoolland
“Who should decide how you live your life?”
What does it really mean to be free, and why does liberty matter in our everyday lives?
How freedom and personal responsibility go hand in hand. Looking beyond good intentions to the real-world consequences of public policy decisions.
Join Keliʻi Akina for a conversation with Professor Kenneth Schoolland, recently retired from Hawaiʻi Pacific University and internationally known for his book The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: A Free Market Odyssey.
Together, they explore the meaning of liberty, the connection between freedom and personal responsibility, and why policies with good intentions can sometimes produce unexpected results. From individual rights and free markets to the proper role of government, Schoolland shares the ideas behind The Philosophy of Liberty and considers what they might mean for Hawaiʻi's future.
It's a thoughtful, accessible conversation about freedom, opportunity, and the choices that shape our lives.
