One concept that comes up a lot on the Rhodes Center Podcast: the idea of the 'free market'.The idea, as you might know it, begins with John Locke, is fashioned fully by Adam Smith, and is delivered to us gift-wrapped (after some delays) by the likes of Hayek and Friedman in the mid 20th century.But as our guest on this episode explains, the idea of the free market is hardly so straightforward. Jacob Soll is a professor of philosophy, history, and accounting at the University of Southern California, and in his book “Free Market: The History of an Idea,” he begins way back in ancient Rome, stops in 17th-century France with Louis XIV's minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and, on the way to the present, barely mentions Adam Smith at all. No matter what you think of when you hear the words ‘free market', Jacob's incredibly informative – and highly readable – history will make you see the concept in a whole new light.

When we first spoke with Matthew Weatherly-White on the podcast in 2018 (Episode 14), we discussed recovery, athletic longevity, endurance, desiccants, exercising for an audience, intelligent self-awareness, transubstantiation, personal reinvention, the evolution of capitalism, impact investing, the discipline to do less than you think you have to, and tried to apply behavioral economics to fitness. It was an incredible conversation. Five years later, much has changed in the world and for us as individuals. We started this conversation with the topic of SVB, banking in general, and how Matthew's company handled the 2008 crash, including the idea that safety nets encourage risky behavior. We diverted towards famous podcasters, the rarity of independent thought — which can either marginalize or work in one's favor, digital interface with a virtual mob, the benefits of negative experience, and briefly spoke about the U.S.' war on drugs, money flow, arms sales, and how cartels sometimes step in to provide community services where the government doesn't. Somehow this led us to explore Adam Smith and his "moral framework" of capitalism, which most people ignored in favor of ever more reductionist positions that produced a form of capitalism he actually did not advocate. This splendid conversation closed out on the topics of publishing, and an almost euphoric description of surfing, courage, and making it into the local line-up. It is indeed, a conversation about the richness of life.
We get that it's a good thing to be a giver. Maybe generosity is even a goal of yours. But where do you draw what lines? If you gave everything away—you'd end up naked and penniless, living on the streets. That can't be what God wants. You don't want to be a miser either. How do you know what to give and what to keep? There are needs and needy people everywhere. What do you say YES and NO to? How do you use what you've got wisely, not wastefully? How do you pursue selflessness without starving? Will you eventually just arrive at a certain sweet spot, or is this an area you're going to have to constantly wrestle with?If you're new with us, or looking to take a next step, or even to let us know how we can be praying for you, we invite you to fill out an online Connect Card by texting "WHATSNEXT" to 94000 or visit https://southhillschurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113913—To give with us select the Give tab on the Church Center App or visit www.southhills.org/give and select the Corona Fund or Corona BOW Fund—Visit our Linktree to find out more about everything mentioned in today's message or follow along with the message slides:https://linktr.ee/SouthHillsCorona —To RSVP for On-Campus Events select the Events tab on the Church Center App or visit https://southhills.org/corona/

My sons have been Jiu-Jitsu devotees since the age of eight. I initially joined then but, regrettably, didn't keep up the practice, though they've continued to flourish under the tutelage of today's podcast guest coach Adam Smith. But Coach Adam is much more than a youth and adult Jiu-Jitsu coach. A lifelong Martial Arts competitor and teacher, Adam has won many traditional Martial Arts tournaments. After moving on to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts, Adam “Smash” Smith has earned a strong reputation as a high-level competitor and an expert-level teacher. Adam holds a Black Belt in American Kenpo Karate (Ed Parkers system), and a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (under Jiu-Jitsu Master Marcelo Allonso Novais). Now, Adam has three of his own Martial Arts Academies (SMASH Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) and plans to continue to build a strong team dedicated to changing lives. With more than 250 current students and thousands of former students, “Smash” is known for his ability to teach anyone, starting as young as three years old. Adam has taught special needs students for over 15 years and has well-known expertise in working with a variety of people with different disabilities. At 18 years old, Adam moved into a fire station where he became a certified firefighter and emergency medical technician (a certification he has held for 12+ years) while gaining firsthand experience saving lives and property in the Spokane area. After growing up as a poor and underprivileged athlete himself, Adam started a non-profit (Give Back Tournaments) and hosts Jiu-Jitsu tournaments to raise funds that pay for athletic endeavors for underprivileged student-athletes. This past year, Adam had double hip replacements three months apart but is back training and working to win world titles.

The 9th of March 2023 marked 247 years since the release of Adam Smith's seminal book, The Wealth of Nations. With liberalism on the decline, this week's podcast asks the question, what can policymakers learn from Adam Smith? IEA Communications Officer Harrison Griffiths sat down with Eamonn Butler, Director of the Adam Smith Institute, to discuss this.

Genesis 5:1-32 | Adam Smith
Genesis 5:1-32 | Adam Smith
„Nu vom avea parte de cina noastră din bunătatea măcelarului, a berarului sau a brutarului”, zicea Adam Smith, „ci din grija lor pentru propriul interes”. Economistul încerca să explice în felul ăsta cum funcționează „mâna invizibilă a pieței”. Doar că, în fiecare zi, în timp ce Adam Smith își scria ideile, în jurul lui se întâmpla ceva ce nu avea legătură cu interesul propriu. În tot timpul în care a scris cartea „Avuția Națiunilor”, Adam Smith a locuit în casa mamei lui, care l-a îngrijit, fără să ceară ceva în schimb. Așa că o întrebare foarte bună e: cine i-a gătit, de fapt, cina lui Adam Smith? Oare doar brutarul și măcelarul, singurii pe care el îi invocă în teoriile pe care le-a formulat? Sau poate că lui Smith i-a scăpat ceva? ___ În episodul 180 din podcastul Vocea Nației: - Unul dintre lucrurile pe care le face feminismul este să arate că există inegalități și lucruri în neregulă acolo unde, în general, societatea crede că nu e nimic de văzut și că totul e perfect normal. - La începutul pandemiei, în statele membre ale UE, femeile petreceau, în medie, 62 de ore pe săptămână pentru îngrijirea copiilor și 23 de ore pentru teme, în timp ce bărbații petreceau pentru aceleași activități, cam jumătate din timpul petrecut de femei. - În prezent, economia nu este constituită doar cu o mână invizibilă, ci și cu o inimă invizibilă. - Dacă Lehman Brothers ar fi fost Lehman Sisters, criza financiară din 2008 ar fi avut efecte diferite. - În fiecare zi, milioane de mâini invizibile ne asigură supraviețuirea. O economie potrivită secolului 21 e una care recunoaște, printre altele, și acest lucru. ___ Best Buy Server Config - Laptop DELL Latitude 5490 14" FHD, Intel Core i5-8250U pana la 3.40GHz, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, GARANTIE 2 ANI: https://www.server-config.ro/laptop-refurbished/1573-laptop-dell-latitude-5490-14-fhd-intel-core-i5-8250u-pana-la-340ghz-16gb-ddr4-256gb-ssd-garantie-2-ani.html ___ Cărți menționate: - Cine i-a gătit cina lui Adam Smith – Katrine Marçal - Work won't love you back – Sarah Jaffe - Doughnut Economics – Kate Raworth

Part of growing up is getting a job. Everyone's eventually got to think about how they're going to make money. You've got to pay rent and buy groceries, clothes, and a car. Then there's insurance, utilities, subscriptions, and shampoo. And savings, obviously. If there's anything left after, you can finally have a little fun—a vacation, an upgrade, dessert. The more you make, the more you get to move from simply meeting your NEEDS to grabbing hold of your WANTS. And that's what we're all working for. Is that enough though? Is getting what you want all there is? Does is work? Is it fulfilling? What else is there? What does God have to say about the point of making money and do we really care?If you're new with us, or looking to take a next step, or even to let us know how we can be praying for you, we invite you to fill out an online Connect Card by texting "WHATSNEXT" to 94000 or visit https://southhillschurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113913—To give with us select the Give tab on the Church Center App or visit www.southhills.org/give and select the Corona Fund or Corona BOW Fund—Visit our Linktree to find out more about everything mentioned in today's message or follow along with the message slides:https://linktr.ee/SouthHillsCorona —To RSVP for On-Campus Events select the Events tab on the Church Center App or visit https://southhills.org/corona/
Austerity is a potent weapon of class warfare. Political economist David Fields talks with Steve about the ways austerity serves to discipline labor, as it has been doing since the Bolshevik revolution. They touch on the reasons capitalism cannot risk full employment, as explained by both Karl Marx and Michal Kalecki.David wants people to read Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations or The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Even Smith, the father of the “invisible hand,” said government is instituted for the security of property — for the rich against the poor.The discussion touches on the current inflation, comparing the true causes to the mainstream narrative.“There's been a very coordinated, calculated campaign with well-known economists. Call it neoliberalism. Call it what you want, financialization... The concepts, terms, economic principles that we take for granted are not value-neutral.”We are embedded in a system of winners and losers and we're meant to believe there's no other way. Workers must be prevented from understanding the trifecta of austerity – fiscal, monetary, and industrial.Bio: David M. Fields, Political Economist, Utah. From a critical realist & genetic structuralist ontology & epistemology, David's scholarly work centers on the intricacies concerning the interactions of foreign exchange & capital flows with economic growth, fiscal & monetary policy, and distribution, whereby attention is paid to the nature of money and international political economy. He has published in the following journals: Review of International Political Economy, Review of Political Economy, American Review of Political Economy, the Review of Keynesian Economics, and the Review of Radical Political Economics. Additionally, he has provided book chapter contributions to The Encyclopedia of Post-Keynesian Economics, The Encyclopedia of Central Banking, and the Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Globalization. David received his graduate degree from the University of Utah; his bachelor's from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.@ProfDavidFields on Twitter

Since at least Adam Smith, the common wisdom has been that the transition from hunter-gathering to farming allowed the creation of the State. Farming, so went the theory, led to agricultural surplus, and that surplus is the prerequisite for taxation and a State. But economist Omer Moav of Reichman University argues that it wasn't farming but the farming of a particular kind of crop (but not others) that led to hierarchy and the State. Moav explains to EconTalk host Russ Roberts storability is the key dimension that allows for taxation and a State. The conversation includes a discussion of why it's important to understand the past and the challenges of confirming or refuting theories about history.

In this episode Chris Gondek interviews Ed Finn, author of the new book What Algorithms Want. Tune in for an interesting discussion on algorithm disconnect revolving around things humans regularly use, like Siri. And listen in for a definition of the phrase "culture machines". We depend on--we believe in--algorithms to help us get a ride, choose which book to buy, execute a mathematical proof. It's as if we think of code as a magic spell, an incantation to reveal what we need to know and even what we want. Humans have always believed that certain invocations--the marriage vow, the shaman's curse--do not merely describe the world but make it. Computation casts a cultural shadow that is shaped by this long tradition of magical thinking. In this book, Ed Finn considers how the algorithm--in practical terms, "a method for solving a problem"--has its roots not only in mathematical logic but also in cybernetics, philosophy, and magical thinking. Finn argues that the algorithm deploys concepts from the idealized space of computation in a messy reality, with unpredictable and sometimes fascinating results. Drawing on sources that range from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash to Diderot's Encyclopédie, from Adam Smith to the Star Trek computer, Finn explores the gap between theoretical ideas and pragmatic instructions. He examines the development of intelligent assistants like Siri, the rise of algorithmic aesthetics at Netflix, Ian Bogost's satiric Facebook game Cow Clicker, and the revolutionary economics of Bitcoin. He describes Google's goal of anticipating our questions, Uber's cartoon maps and black box accounting, and what Facebook tells us about programmable value, among other things. If we want to understand the gap between abstraction and messy reality, Finn argues, we need to build a model of "algorithmic reading" and scholarship that attends to process, spearheading a new experimental humanities.

Adam Smith is an education leader whose experience lies at the intersection of math teaching and learning, teacher leadership, equity and social justice, and education research. His career includes roles as a high school math teacher, assistant professor of math, elementary math curriculum director, and education nonprofit leadership. Adam is passionate about ensuring that children who have been historically marginalized and excluded can see themselves as mathematicians and are given ample opportunities to realize their brilliance as math learners and doers. He believes in the power of transformative leadership to shift the educational paradigm to center and uplift Black and Brown students and communities.

Kids complicate relationships. Some of us aren't sure we want to have them. Some of us accidentally had them. Some of us inherited them. Some of us are absolutely obsessed with them. Maybe you thought you met the love of your life, but then you had a kid. You don't want to say you love them more, but you definitely love them differently. You'd sacrifice anything for them. And you have. Including your health, your sense of self, and every ounce of romance remaining in your relationship. Is that just how it works? Or are we doing it wrong?

Professors Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway explain how and why Americans came to believe that the “free market” was not only natural, but also moral, and the highest form of human interaction. Their deep archival research shows how the rise of free market fundamentalism was artificially created by business elites, trade associations, and allies in the media over the 20th century. Only by understanding this history can we imagine a future where markets will serve, not stifle, democracy. Episode 500.
Shermer and Oreskes discuss: the myth of market magic • market fundamentalism • market absolutism • market essentialism • capitalism and democracy • well-regulated vs. poorly regulated capitalism • U.S. Constitution and capitalism • what the founding fathers believed about markets • what Adam Smith really said about markets and capitalism and how economists rewrote Adam Smith • why markets need regulation in the same way sports need rules and referees • rhetorical fallacies of market fundamentalists • child labor laws • bank failures • Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 • Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman • religion and capitalism • think tanks • collective action problems. Naomi Oreskes is Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University. Her opinion pieces have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and many other outlets. Her TED talk, “Why We Should Trust Scientists,” was viewed more than a million times. Erik M. Conway is a historian of science and technology and works for the California Institute of Technology. He is the author of seven books and dozens of articles and essays. Their new book is The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market.
Genesis 3:14-24 | Adam Smith
Falling in love with someone is the easy part. Learning to live with someone is the hard part. All romance starts with a spark of chemistry, but over time, some couples really complement one another, and others seem to want to kill each other. Is it just dumb luck? What separates those that crumble after seven months from those who end up celebrating seventy years? It's either a complete fluke or they've figured something out. And since nobody looks forward to starting over again, what could we learn from them?If you're new with us, or looking to take a next step, or even to let us know how we can be praying for you, we invite you to fill out an online Connect Card by texting "WHATSNEXT" to 94000 or visit https://southhillschurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113913—To give with us select the Give tab on the Church Center App or visit www.southhills.org/give and select the Corona Fund or Corona BOW Fund—Visit our Linktree to find out more about everything mentioned in today's message or follow along with the message slides:https://linktr.ee/SouthHillsCorona —To RSVP for On-Campus Events select the Events tab on the Church Center App or visit https://southhills.org/corona/

Adam Smith famously argued that specialization is the key to prosperity. In the N.F.L., the long snapper is proof of that argument. Here's everything there is to know about a job that didn't used to exist.
David is joined this week by Dr. Glory Liu, author of the new book, 'Adam Smith's America: How a Scottish Philosopher Became an Icon of American Capitalism.' David and Glory discuss the vast historical treatments of the famed moral philosopher, and how history has produced an Adam Smith for everyone, depending on their own presuppositions and biases. But through it all, we find that the great questions which come out of different treatments of Smith still require answers to this day. How do moral philosophy and economic laws optimally intersect? Where does economics as social theory stop and as political policy begin? And what are the rules and principles that govern our treatment of these subjects? Adam Smith had opinions. People for the last 250 years have had opinions about these matters, and had opinions about Smith's opinions. And you will be shocked to know that we at Capital Record have some opinions, too.
