Send us a textHave you ever wondered how common law rules and market prices both "emerge"? Inspired by the works of James Buchanan, F.A. Hayek, and Bruno Leoni, Donald Boudreaux explains how decentralized processes can lead to the emergence of effective norms, such as queuing and speeding rules, without the need for top-down legislation. We discuss the significance of individuals spending their own money versus others' and how these incentives impact societal outcomes, highlighting the deep wisdom embedded in traditionally evolved rules.We also venture into the nuanced distinction between law and legislation, drawing on insights from Buchanan and Hayek. We elaborate on Buchanan's concept of "relatively absolute absolutes," and on Hayek's emergence process, emphasizing the continuous generation of information through human action and preferences. Discover the natural process behind the emergence of common law, its role in establishing predictable rules, and the challenges presented by the unpredictable nature of parliamentary law.

Send us a Text Message.What does it mean for something to be ESG when two of those words are adjectives and one is a noun? I mean think about it. “Environmental, social, and governance” doesn't really describe anything. It's also a good example of cacophony. So can someone please explain what it means? Today, luckily, Paul Mueller, senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, comes to my rescue. He explains what ESG means and how it relates to CSR (corporate social responsibility, ESG's more comprehensible predecessor). He answers a question that's been plaguing me forever, which is, why are free marketeers generally against these types of movements, even though they are private endeavors?

What is it that beach parking lots are actually selling? Why do beer bottles cost more than cans? And just what are costs of the thing, as opposed to the costs of selling or buying the thing? Can you really separate them out?Mass MOCA: "Wilco's Solid Sound" Music Festival https://massmoca.org/event/solid-sound-2024/"To Consumers, ALL Costs are Transaction Costs."

Ron and Ed welcome Dr. Kimberlee Josephson back to the show for a fourth time. This week they will talk about Kimberlee's latest articles published on the AIER site, including: * Apple's Big Business: Mises is Right, Sen Warren is Wrong * Business Schools Undermine Wealth Creation * Tucker Carlson's Dollar Store Takedown * Lina Khan's Anti-Progress Paradox * Of Moats and Search Engines: The DOJ's Coercive Case against Google

GUEST OVERVIEW: Dr. Berdine graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1974 earning a B.S. degrees in Chemistry and a second B.S. degree in Life Sciences. He graduated from Harvard School of Medicine in 1978 earning the M.D. degree. Specialty training in Internal Medicine and subspecialty training in Pulmonary Diseases was at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. Dr. Berdine found the taxation in Massachusetts to be oppressive, so in 1984 he moved to the relatively free environment of Texas where he has remained since. Dr. Berdine was on the faculty at University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio doing research in basic respiratory gas exchange physiology and teaching students in the medical arts until 1989 when capricious and arbitrary rule by federal bureaucrats drove him into the entrepreneurial realm of private practice. Dr. Berdine left private practice in 2009 due to declining health and resumed academic medicine at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock where he remains today. In addition to direct patient care and teaching of medical students, Dr. Berdine writes about the virtues of the free market in solving health care problems as well as the hazards of letting government make a mess of things. The recent COVID pandemic with authoritarian lockdowns, mandates of inadequately tested vaccines, and barbaric isolation of patients from family have provided numerous examples of letting government make a mess of things. He is an affiliate of the Free Market Institute at Texas Tech University. His commentary and analyses can be found at Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles, Mises.org, and AIER. His latest commentary includes criticism of isolating patients from family, explaining physician burnout as a form of rent dissipation, a critical examination of excess deaths during COVID, and the very real hazards of COVID vaccines.

Are stadium subsidies worth it? How about steel and aluminum tariffs? And what even is a grocery store? On this episode of Econception, an AIER podcast, host Dominic Pino is joined by John Mozena to discuss why stadium subsidies fail to produce a return for taxpayers and rarely generate expected economic growth for communities. A leading critic of stadium subsidies, John Mozena is the President of The Center for Economic Accountability, an organization that advocates for free-market reforms to local and state economic development across the country. 

A contrarian doctor “just asking questions.” Super reasonable. Certainly not anti-vax, just a regular guy who grievance-mongers about quarantine measures and mocks people afraid of long Covid. Vinay Prasad cuts a different type of figure on the conspiracy-influencer stage. He fits right in with his pal, the charismatic guru-esque Dr. Zubin Damania, and might just pop up in your YouTube feed alongside Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia. Prasad demands unrealistic randomized controlled trial data for everything on his podcast, including protecting ICU patients from Covid via visiting restrictions. Who's volunteering for that control group?! Julian sits down with returning guest, Dr. Jonathan Howard, the author of We Want Them Infected. They talk about Prasad (among others) who play a sensationalist science-distortion role in the digital economy and their connections to libertarian think tanks like AIER (architects of the Great Barrington Declaration) and Brownstone Institute—who's founder, Jeffrey Tucker, wants to repeal laws around child labor and underage smoking.
