​As we head to ballot boxes right now in the U.S., is this the only (or best) way to vote? In his new book, Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom, Professor Ilya Somin makes the case that "voting with your feet" enhances political liberty and should be expanded by
breaking down barriers to international migration,  choosing where to
live within a federal system, and making decisions in the private sector. 

Join us as Professor Edward Glaeser, Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics, hosts Professor Ilya Somin and leads a discussion on the important voting policy decisions in this book.
