Christopher Coyne of George Mason University has discovered. drearily predictable pattern of terrible decisions in one American war after another. Sponsors: & Book Discusssed:

Making war is one of the things that government does best, but sometimes even the deep-state elites need a little help figuring out how to invade other countries, kill their people, and plunder their resources, all while propping up American defense contractors and keeping the voting public complacent. Thankfully, a handy how-to manual for all your global domination needs has just hit the shelves. Matt Kibbe sits down with authors Christopher Coyne and Abigail Hall to discuss their new satirical book, "How to Run Wars," which uses humor to shine a light on the bellicose evils of the perpetual war machine and those who seek to profit from it.

Chris Coyne gives a master class in how to energize a population for war.Today's book: How to Run Wars: A Confidential Playbook for the National Security Elite by Christopher Coyne & Abigail Hall

On this episode, we'll hear a book panel discussion on Christopher J. Coyne's book,In Search of Monsters to Destroy: The Folly of American Empire and the Paths to Peace (Independent Institute, 2023). In his comments, Coyne challenges the notion that the US military is necessary for global order, explaining that without the US as the global police force chaos will not overtake the world, and questions the efficacy and morality of a militaristic, top-down approach to global conflict. Coyne breaks down the history of the American empires into three phases: continental expansion, overseas imperialism, and global hegemony, and describes the features of the present-day American empire and the interventionist mindset. He argues that foreign intervention and the effort to export democracy to other nations by illiberal means can only lead to illiberal ends. A liberal empire is ultimately illiberal. He calls for reimagining our understanding of peace as a community-driven process, emphasizing the role of human imagination in peacemaking.

Go check out S2E1 of Virtual Sentiments featuring Christopher Coyne today!On this, the last episode of Season 1 of Virtual Sentiments, Kristen Collins interviews Eileen Hunt, a Professor and Political Theorist at the University of Notre Dame, on Mary Shelley and the Ethics of AI. Hunt begins by providing historical context of Mary Shelley regarding her parents and Shelley as a child of the Enlightenment. Hunt explains the interdisciplinary nature of Mary Shelley's work, rooted in a Grecian philosophical past and concerned with future-oriented questions about the rights of human beings, tying in Mary Shelley's famous Gothic novel, Frankenstein, to modern considerations of the ethics and rights of artificial life. She encourages us to think of ourselves as artificial, technological creatures and to contemplate the rights of all artificial creatures, including humans and other forms of artificial intelligence. Additionally, Hunt discusses issues of genetic engineering, humanity as a built environment, Jeremy Bentham and reproductive justice.Read more about Eileen Hunt.Read more work from Kristen Collins.If you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!

> “Government propaganda is a direct threat to freedom and liberty because it empowers a small political elite who wields awesome discretionary powers to shape policies while keeping citizens in the dark about the underlying realities and the array of alternative options available.” – *Manufacturing Militarism*> I was excited to welcome Abigail Hall to the program to discuss her work on the U.S. government's propaganda in the War on Terror. Her new book with Christopher Coyne, *Manufacturing Militarism*, reveals a disturbing influence exercised by the Department of Defense over public opinion, through subtle and not-so-subtle propaganda techniques. We learn that military propaganda has been a fixture since at least the world wars, but has gotten more advanced since 9/11.It turns out that the lies about Saddam's WMDs were just the tip of a much larger iceberg. Hall and Coyne frame the problem in terms of incentives by bureaucrats to gain public support for a bloated military and endless wars, when the public's inclination would otherwise be to oppose war if they had full information.

Christopher Coyne and Abigail Hall delve into case studies from the War on Terror to show how propaganda operates in a democracy. From the darkened cinema to the football field to the airport screening line, the U.S. government has purposefully inflated the actual threat of terrorism and the necessity of a proactive military response. This biased, incomplete, and misleading information contributes to a broader culture of fear and militarism that, far from keeping Americans safe, ultimately threatens the foundations of a free society. How should we define propaganda? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dr. Clarence Lusane, author, professor, and activist, joins us to discuss Afghanistan. The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and the subsequent seizure of power by the Taliban has sent a message to American vassals and collaborators worldwide. Also, it is clear that US presidents have repeatedly lied to the American people about Afghanistan and many other military engagements.Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor in economics and politics at St. Mary's College in California, joins us to discuss the economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated on Tuesday that the covid pandemic has forever altered the US economy and that we must adapt to those changes. Dr. Jack tells us whether the government's response is adequate to mitigate the pain and suffering of the American people. Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands: The American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss Ramzy Baroud's article in Mint Press News titled "Greed and Consumption: Why the World is Burning." He warns that global warming is the "outcome of a destructive pattern instigated and sustained by capitalism."Professor Peter Kuznick, author and historian, joins us to discuss Operation Cyclone. The US ran a covert war in Afghanistan long before acknowledging their actions. Did US training and support of Osama Bin Laden's Mujahideen fighters give rise to the Taliban and other Islamist organizations in the region?George Koo, journalist, social activist, international business consultant, and chemical engineer, joins us to discuss China. US Air Force leaders are arguing that they need new technology to "scare" China, but is this simply another cry for massive military expenditures to enrich the war profiteers? Also, China has stated that they are willing to work with the US on the Afghanistan issue under certain circumstances.Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "America's Undeclared War," joins us to discuss the results of the fall of Kabul and how it affects US foreign policy worldwide. Some observers argue that the sight of Afghan collaborators fleeing the city and falling from departing US aircraft marks the end of the US as the unipolar world power. Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, joins us to discuss propaganda. Ted reviews the propositions in a new book titled "Manufacturing Militarism: US Government Propaganda in the War on Terror'' by Christopher Coyne and Abigail Hall. The duo of writers cite example after example of the US media acting as public relations operatives for the US empire's neocon war machine.Nino Pagliccia, activist and writer, joins us to discuss Haiti and Peru. The government of Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela has shipped 30,000 kilos of non-perishable food items and medicine to the people of Haiti in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake and storm. Also, many observers fear that the US is plotting a coup attempt in Peru.

Matt Kibbe is joined by professor of economics Christopher Coyne to discuss the new book “Tyranny Comes Home.” Coyne's thesis is that the abuse of military power works like a boomerang, with our nation-building efforts abroad returning to our shores in the form of police militarization, domestic surveillance, and massive civil liberties violations. It's not actually possible to have a free and open society at home when we insist on acting as the world's policemen abroad. Tyranny Comes Home: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084JC1DX2/

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we begin a series of lectures on topics in economic sociology, recorded in the fall academic semester of 2020 and hosted by Peter Boettke. He is joined in this episode by Christopher Coyne as they discuss issues surrounding the knowledge problem and its application to foreign and domestic interventions. Later in the podcast, they also address challenges that classical liberals still face regarding the role of government and the conditions necessary for a society of free individuals.

In 2014, the Mercatus F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics hosted a keynote speech and panel discussion by some of Hayek’s most prominent colleagues and interlocutors to reflect on the significance of Hayek’s Nobel Prize and the various strands of influence his work has had in subsequent decades of scholarship. In this installment of the series, Dr. Eric Maskin, Professor of Economics at Harvard University, delivers a lecture on the relevance of Hayek to the field of mechanism design. Following the lecture, Dr. Maskin sits down for an interview with Dr. Christopher Coyne to discuss his interest in economics, the state of the discipline, and the impact of Hayek and other mainline thinkers.

Many Americans believe that foreign military intervention is central to protecting our domestic freedoms. But Christopher J. Coyne and Abigail R. Hall urge engaged citizens to think again. Overseas, our government takes actions in the name of defense that would not be permissible within national borders. Emboldened by the relative weakness of governance abroad, the U.S. government is able to experiment with a broader range of social controls.How do military contractors benefit greatly from U.S. militarism? What is “the boomerang effect”? What is the relationship between domestic citizens and political institutions in the time of increased militarization? What is the interventionist mindset?

For many Americans, the distinction between military policy and domestic law enforcement is clear: the U.S. military is deployed abroad and tasked with defense of vital national interests, while at home police officers protect life, liberty, and property by investigating and deterring crimes. But as Christopher Coyne and Abigail Hall explain in their book Tyranny Comes Home: The Domestic Fate of U.S. Militarism, years of policy decisions at home and abroad have eroded this distinction.Military equipment and tactics often find their way to police departments thanks to what Coyne and Hall call the “boomerang effect,” which can result in needlessly aggressive policing and violations of civil liberties. What are the origins of the boomerang effect? Can police militarization be reversed? Does modern policing require military-grade surveillance equipment? Join us for a book forum featuring Coyne and Hall, who tackle these and other pressing questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Purchase bookA common argument for intervening abroad is to alleviate potential or existing human suffering. Repeatedly, however, state-led humanitarian efforts have failed miserably. Why do well-funded, expertly staffed, and well-intentioned humanitarian actions often fall short of achieving their desired outcomes, leaving some of the people they intended to help worse off? Why are well-meaning countries unable to replicate individual instances of success consistently across cases of human suffering?Using the tools of economics, Dr. Christopher Coyne’s new book, Doing Bad by Doing Good: Why Humanitarian Action Fails, shifts the discussion from the moral imperative of how governments should behave to a positive analysis of how they actually do. Coyne examines the limits of short-term humanitarian aid and long-term development assistance, the disconnect between intentions and reality, and why economic freedom—protection of property rights, private means of production, and free trade of labor and goods—provides the best means for minimizing human suffering.

Christopher Coyne of West Virginia University and George Mason University's Mercatus Center talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about his book, After War: The Political Economy of Exporting Democracy. They talk about the successes and failures of America's attempts to export democracy after a war. In some cases, Japan and Germany, for example, after World War II, American efforts have led to stability and democratic institutions. In many other cases, Cuba, Somalia, and Haiti, for example, and so far, Iraq, American efforts have failed, often repeatedly and have sometimes made things worse. Coyne tries to identify factors that lead to an improved likelihood of success or failure. Ultimately, he concludes that a non-interventionist posture accompanied by unilateral free trade is more likely to benefit citizens under repressive governments.
