At the centre is Libera's two-billion-euro list of spending cuts, deliberately built from easy, research-backed targets — and which nonetheless brought the interest groups out. The episode asks why value liberalism advances in Finland while economic reform stalls, and why the process consequences of political decisions are so rarely worked out. Both guests run the think tank whose work is being discussed.", "chapters": [{"t": "00:00", "title": "Intro: a newspaper article, the cuts list, and why such lists are always blocked", "seconds": 0}, {"t": "00:45", "title": "Libera's alumni", "seconds": 45}, {"t": "01:45", "title": "How Libera changed since the Pursiainen years", "seconds": 105}, {"t": "03:10", "title": "A newspaper article on the sunset of think tanks", "seconds": 190}, {"t": "05:40", "title": "The strange period of restricted freedoms during Covid", "seconds": 340}, {"t": "08:30", "title": "The economic left's era in Finland, and the missing cuts lists", "seconds": 510}, {"t": "13:48", "title": "The government", "seconds": 828}, {"t": "31:00", "title": "Libera's operating model", "seconds": 1860}, {"t": "33:20", "title": "The Atlas Network and Randian influence", "seconds": 2000}, {"t": "35:30", "title": "The Austrian school and crypto", "seconds": 2130}, {"t": "39:16", "title": "Libera's summer school", "seconds": 2356}, {"t": "42:00", "title": "Would Wahlroos come on the channel", "seconds": 2520}, {"t": "43:30", "title": "What Libera is working on", "seconds": 2610}], "sourceTranscriptType": "none", "subtitleMethod": "none", "provenance": "Owner page assembled from YouTube metadata, the neuvottelija.fi episode record and the publisher's own chapter marks, translated one for one; their spacing is irregular and matches the recording, though the marks thin out considerably in the middle third.
