Coyne on Exporting Democracy after War

Christopher Coyne, talks with Russ Roberts about his book, After War: The Political Economy of Exporting Democracy. They talk about America's attempts to export democracy after a war. In Japan and Germany after WWII, American efforts have led to stability and democratic institutions. In Cuba, Somalia, and Haiti, and so far, Iraq, American efforts have failed, and sometimes made things worse. He concludes that a non-interventionist posture accompanied by unilateral free trade is more likely to benefit citizens under repressive governments.
