Miron is an outspoken
libertarian. He was one of the 166 economists to sign a letter to congressional leaders in opposition to the
bailout plan put forth by the U.S. federal government in response to the
2008 financial crisis. He advocated that those companies that floundered during the crisis should be
bankrupt instead of receiving government help. He has proposed three policy reforms to help the US economy recover from the
2008 financial crisis: cutting entitlements, freezing regulation, and replacing the existing tax code with a
flat tax on consumption. Miron has also spoken out against the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, arguing that it is economically unfeasible and will increase the US deficit; instead, he suggests limiting government intervention is the best way to lower overall health care costs and make health care accessible to the most people. He has studied the effects of drug criminalization for 15 years, and argues that all drugs should be
legalized. He also supports the legalization of
sex work. Miron is
pro-choice as well. He supports
open borders, arguing that the United States should impose "no immigration restrictions at all." He opposes
foreign interventions because "they cost far more than initially acknowledged while failing to help either America or the target countries." Miron has been a cast member of documentaries such as
The Culture High and
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. ==Writings==
