https://youtu.be/E6oOWBuuS68 In 2018, the Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a Joint Concept for Operating in the Information Environment (JCOIE), discussing the role of information in war: “JCOIE recognizes that individuals and groups today have access to more information than entire governments once possessed.” Discussing the challenges facing the military, they ask, “How will the Joint Force change or maintain perceptions, attitudes, and other elements that drive the desired behaviors of relevant actors in an increasingly pervasive and connected [informational environment] to produce enduring strategic outcomes?” A critical question indeed. – Christopher J.

Coyne & Abigail R. Hall. Applying a political-economic approach to the incentives created by a democratic system with a massive national security state, Coyne and Hall delve into case studies from the War on Terror to show how propaganda operates in a democracy. Peter Boettke moderates the panel, which is joined by two commentators — Randall G. Holcombe, DeVoe Moore Professor of Economics at Florida State University, and Risa Brooks, Allis Chalmers Associate Professor of Political Science at Marquette University.

It's uncertain what the future holds for Afghanistan. But what is certain is that the US will continue to embrace militarism in the years to come. On a new "Right Now with Stephen Kent," Stephen sits down with Abby Hall Blanco, co-author of "Manufacturing Militarism," Fiona Harrigan of Reason magazine, and Brad Polumbo of the Foundation for Economic Education, for a discussion about the concept of paid patriotism; the tools governments use in crafting effective wartime propaganda; and if the withdrawal from Afghanistan could have been conducted more effectively.Subscribe to Rightly and catch more details about the episode below.
