How can we reform our government's institutions to remain effective in a politically polarized era, where elites influence policy, global competition is rising, and social media shapes public perceptions? Daniel Rothschild and Joe Grogan explore this urgent challenge in-depth. They discuss the need for fundamental reform to modernize bureaucratic systems, improve efficiency, and increase accountability in government operations, particularly in relation to the federal budget. They analyze the political realignment in the U.S., the implications of Trump's reelection, and the role of elites in shaping public policy. The conversation also delves into the global state of democracy, touching on how social media affects public perception of government actions, and how institutions can be restructured to meet the demands of today's complex political and economic landscape.

Send us a textWhat does it actually mean to run a think tank, to create harmony within an office building full of idea-confident folk? Some have called the think tank a monastery, some have called it an academic social club, and some have even called it a policy incubator. What truly is it and how on earth do you lead one? Leading a think tank is a multifaceted job, because you have your own scholarship to do too. Today, I'm excited to welcome the president of AEI, Robert Doar, to the podcast for a similarly multifaceted conversation. Doar talks to us about his work on poverty and, more recently, the Nixon impeachment, as well as his job as the president of AEI. Stay with us till the end to hear us talking about our favorite books!

Daniel Rothschild is the executive director of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Today, we talk about liberalism and institutions, whatever that means. After exploring their definitions, he talks to us about the role of each in society at the current moment, how this is a departure from the past, and potential paths forward. We also talk specifically about think tanks as an institution- both what they are and the role they play in upholding a liberal order.  Never miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Dan is executive director of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and previously worked at the American Enterprise Institute and the R Street Institute. They discuss how think tanks’ traditional role in developing policy ideas has evolved as politics and the media environment have changed over the last decade.

A handful of protestors have been picketing outside the home of Utah state epidemiologist Dr. Angela Dunn. How dare these ingrates peacefully register disapproval of someone in authority? It's not like she bears any responsibility for placing their civil liberties under attack, right? Are the poor and the underclass being used as human shields when it comes to Covid-19? Martin Cothran says the elites seem to have no problem with allowing blue collar workers to be the guinea pigs that will build up the population immunity. I'm sure we're all hoping for a relatively drama-free election next Tuesday. At the same time, Walmart appears to be taking no chances. The retail giant has removed guns and ammo from the shelves of its stores across the nation. The over-politicization of everything is adding to our already challenging circumstances. It's undermining our trust in our institutions and impoverishing us in most areas of our lives. Daniel Rothschild reminds us that it doesn't have to be like this. On the bright side, our days of worrying about global warming seem to be behind us. Of course, if you still need something climate-related to fret over, there's always cold climate change. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 183. I recently attended PorcFest 2015 and participated in a debate on anarchy and other matters, plus a speech on IP as the Root of All Evil.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 169. I was interviewed today by Daniel Rothschild for his "Live Free, Die Old" Youtube channel. We discussed primarily the fallacious argument that Lockean-libertarian-based property titles are flawed if they are based on conquest or cannot be traced back to the first homesteader. Background material: Rothbard on the “Original Sin” in Land Titles: 1969 vs. 1974 Mises, Rothbard, and Hoppe on the “Original Sin” in the Distribution of Property Rights Justice and Property Rights: Rothbard on Scarcity, Property, Contracts… Property Title Records and Insurance in a Free Society

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 137. I participated in an impromptu Google Hangout by Daniel Rothschild for his "Live Free, Die Old" podcast, including Matt Gilliland and James Cox, on the night after I did a Liberty.me seminar. Rambling and casual. We give poor Cox a bit too much grief for being confused and apparently relativist about rights. Good times. *** For an extra, see the Youtube at the bottom, a 30 minute talk between me and Cox, when I was in Banff Canada and lost in the woods and shooting the sh*t with him.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 123. Daniel Rothschild arranged for and moderated a debate between me and Objectivist/classical liberal (or whatever he is) Jan Helfeld. I lost my temper with the guy because I refused to let him do what I've seen him do to others—take the moral highground (which, as someone defending the state against me, a real libertarian, I was not going to let him do) and use his boring/bludgeoning "socratic" debate technique to try to boringly wear people down. I refused to give in to either, which resulted in the funny mess that you can see here. Of course, Helfeld never seriously tried to justify aggression or the state. He read from a prepared script, like a parakeet. And one of his arguments hinted at the idea that the state does commit aggression but that it is worth it because it prevents more serious aggression that would occur under a condition of anarchy; though he never made this argument explicitly. The other one suggested by him is that if Stephan Kinsella might in some conceivable emergency commit trespass to steal food, that means that aggression is not objectionable as a general matter, i.e. the state is justified in stealing $3trillion a year from US taxpayers because a starving Stephan Kinsella could conceivably be willing to break into a cabin in the woods to steal a can of beans. Again, Helfeld does not want to make this argument so explicitly because then it would rightly subject him to ridicule. My opening statement was originally lost due to technical issues and deleted by Helfeld, but James Cox somehow saved it and spliced it in with take two. The combined material is included here. https://youtu.be/DFYrrVSI4zI For those who think I was too rude or disrespectful to Helfeld, I submit this video showing his interaction with Jeff Tucker: Update: See Robert Wenzel's post "Kinsela Constantly Insulted Me, Interrupted Me and Broke His Agreement" (Wenzel too stupid or sloppy to spell my last name right), and his post Is This What Kinsella Was Afraid Of?.

Daniel Rothschild is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. Prior to that he was an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University. He holds a PhD in Philosophy from Princeton University. His research focuses on natural language semantics and pragmatics. He has written on specific constructions such as conditionals, descriptions, questions, and modals, as well as foundational topics such as presupposition, expressivism, game-theoretic pragmatics, and dynamic semantics. This podcast is an audio recording of Dr. Rothschild's talk - "Expressing Credences" - at the Aristotelian Society on 5 December 2011. The recording was produced by Backdoor Broadcasting Company in conjunction with the Institute of Philosophy, University of London.

Garett Jones of George Mason University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the workers who were hired with money from the 2009 American Recovery and Re-investment Act--the stimulus package. Jones (with co-author Daniel Rothschild) recently completed two studies based on surveys and interviews with firms who received stimulus funds and workers who work at those firms. They found that 42% of workers hired had been unemployed. The remainder came from other jobs or from outside the labor force such as retirement or school. Is 42% a big number or a small number? Jones argues it is small and defends his conclusion. The conversation also includes a discussion of the labor market generally and why the stimulus spending may not have been effective.
