A portion of your time that you spend working for others. And a series of ideas that we've accepted without questioning who benefits from them. In this episode, Sergio Fernández talks with Manuel Llamas about taxes, freedom, capitalism, and the role of the state. A direct conversation about how much we actually pay, why we're barely aware of it, and what ideas underpin a system that, according to the calculations analyzed during the interview, can take more than half of what an average worker earns. They also talk about the welfare state, crony capitalism, subsidies, central planning, poverty, inequality, and Europe's economic stagnation. But above all, they discuss how to apply these ideas to our own lives to be freer, prosper, and depend less on the decisions of others.
