Professor Richard M. Salsman, Ph.D., a leading critic of Critical Race Theory (CRT), is Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris’s guest this week. Dr. Salsman explains where this bizarre and dangerous philosophy came from and how it threatens to undo many of the important advances in racial equality that America has made in the past 60 years. Contrary to the assertions of CRT advocates, CRT is in fact fanning the flames of racism and taking us away from the just society promoted by Martin Luther King Jr. 

Professor Richard Salsman is president of InterMarket Forecasting, Inc. and an assistant professor of political economy at Duke University. He is also a senior fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, and a senior scholar at The Atlas Society. Dr. Salsman earned a B.A. in economics from Bowdoin College, an M.A. in economics from New York University, and Ph.D. in political economy from Duke University. He is the author of numerous important books, chapters, and articles, including Breaking the Banks: Central Banking Problems and Free Banking Solutions, Gold and Liberty, Where Have All the Capitalists Gone? Essays in Moral Political Economy and many others. For more information, please visit richardsalsman.com.
