On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a miniseries on ordoliberalism in the modern day, hosted by Erwin Dekker. Joining Dekker for this episode is Malte Dold as they examine some distinctives of ordoliberalism, particularly on the nature of individuality and citizen sovereignty.

Today's episode was recorded in October 2022 at the Market and Society conference. Our honoured guest is Dr. Erwin Dekker. Dr. Dekker is a historian and economist working at the the intersection of culture and economics. He has worked for almost a decade in the department of cultural economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Is currently Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Dr. Dekker recently put out an impressive biography on Noble Laurette Jan Tinbergen. We highly recommend you pick that up, and today's talk will give you a good idea why.In season 1 (Danish) we reviewed the history of economic thought before WWII. The coming seasons are dedicated to the Nobel Prize in Economics, and I am joined by economist Otto Brøns-Petersen. The Nobel prize is a good benchmark for how the field and profession of economics developed after WWII. We will focus both on the scientific contributions and on the people behind them. These are all star economists and worthy of your time and attention. Some will mainly feature in one episode, others in several. We therefore advice that you listen in the thematic order we propose – but it is up to you. Rest assured, we will cover all… Eventually.References:Dekker, E. (2021).

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a book panel discussion of Erwin Dekker's book, Jan Tinbergen (1903-1994) and the Rise of Economic Expertise. In it, Dekker argues that Tinbergen's crucial contribution is the theory of economic policy and the legitimation of economic expertise in service of the state. It traces his youthful socialist ideals which found political direction in the Plan-socialist movement of the 1930s for which he developed new economic models to combat the Great Depression. The book then turns to an examination of his attempt to repeat this achievement in the development projects in the Global South and at the international level for the United Nations. Peter Boettke moderates the book panel, with contributions from panelists: Sandra Peart, Dean of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of RichmondMichele Alacevich, Associate Professor of Economic History and the History of Economic Thought at Bologna UniversityIf you like the show, please leave a 5-star review for us on Apple Podcasts and tell others about the show!

On this week's episode of the Governance Podcast, our Director Prof. Mark Pennington interviews Dr. Erwin Dekker from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. This episode is titled “Governing Markets as Knowledge Commons”, which features Erwin's recently co-edited volume with Cambridge University Press, Governing Markets as Knowledge Commons. The Guest Dr. Erwin Dekker is senior fellow with the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. He has recently published Jan Tinbergen (1903-1994) and the Rise of Economic Expertise (2021) and The Viennese Students of Civilization (2016), as well as the edited volume Governing Markets as Knowledge Commons (2021) all with Cambridge University Press. He has published in professional journals regarding history of economics, methodology of economics, cultural economics and economic sociology. He is currently working on a history of the intellectual descendants of the German Historical School as well as a project on markets at the margins of society, so-called grey zones. He has previously worked as assistant professor of cultural economics at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam.

Guests: James Heckman, Esther-Mirjam Sent, Philip Hans Franses and Erwin DekkerHosted by Reinhard Schumacher and Arjo Klamer In this episode we present a book panel on the book Jan Tinbergen (1903-1994) and the Rise of Economic Expertise (CUP, 2021) by our regular host Erwin Dekker. Reinhard Schumacher provides a brief introduction to the panel which is chaired by Arjo Klamer, Professor of Cultural Economics at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. The panel opens with reflections on the book and the legacy of Jan Tinbergen, the first Nobel Prize winner in Economics and famous econometrician, by another Nobel Laureate James Heckman, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. The other panelists offer their reflections on the econometric and economic contributions of Tinbergen, and in particular his role as broker between academia and policy circles, a main argument of the book is that Tinbergen secured a permanent place for economic experts and models in policy circles. They also explore Tinbergen's socialist convictions, his internationalism and dedication to peace, as well as his and their personal motivations to be an economist.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a series of lectures on topics in economic sociology, recorded in the fall of 2020 and hosted by Peter Boettke. He is joined in this episode by Erwin Dekker as they discuss the unique ways in which the study of both art and economics overlaps to provide insight into current and historic social tensions. They also discuss how incentives prioritze distinctiveness in the art world, and Erwin explains his research in bringing a socioeconomic perspective to the artistic realm. CC Music: Twisterium

In de Public Affairs Academie Podcast praten we je elke twee weken bij over de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen op het gebied van lobby, belangenbehartiging, en public affairs.  Deze keer in de Public Affairs Academie Podcast: Nemen we de actualiteit door met Julie Meerveld. Zij is belangenbehartiger bij Alzheimer Nederland, en zat in die rol gisteren aan tafel bij de informateur. We praten met haar over de politieke gebeurtenissen van de afgelopen tijd, en natuurlijk over haar inbreng bij Mariëtte Hamer. We gaan ook verder in onze reeks over het vernieuwen van de verstandhouding tussen de burger en de politiek. Dat doen we met oud-topambtenaar Roel Bekker. Hij werkte lange tijd in Den Haag op verschillende ministeries, en leidde onder meer de vernieuwing van de Rijksdienst onder het vierde kabinet-Balkenende. Als laatste is Erwin Dekker van de Erasmus Universiteit te gast in de PA-update. Met hem praten we over de positie van wetenschappelijke experts en hun invloed op beleid. Deze ochtend stond hij in de Volkskrant, met een opinieartikel over dat onderwerp. In de Public Affairs Academie Podcast ligt hij het één en ander toe.

Wat hebben de oprichting van het CPB, Albert Einstein en het agenderen van ontwikkelingssamenwerking met elkaar gemeen? Juist, Jan Tinbergen. Vijftig jaar geleden won hij de allereerste Nobelprijs voor de economie, vandaag de dag is zijn invloed nog steeds voelbaar. In de eerste aflevering van de podcast Tinbergen en de economie van morgen gaan we met oud-minister Jan Pronk en biograaf Erwin Dekker op zoek naar de mens Jan Tinbergen. Wie was hij en wat heeft hij voor Nederland en de wereld betekend?

Guest: Ola InnsetHosted and produced by Erwin Dekker and Reinhard Schumacher In this episode we interview the historian Ola Innset about his award-winning dissertation Reinventing liberalism : Early neoliberalism in context, 1920-1947. He has used the methodology of micro-history to study the first meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947, including 'juicy' details. We discuss Ola's thesis of the double movement: neoliberalism as response to both planning and the old ideal of laissez-faire. But the conversation turns much broader about the international character of neoliberalism, the uses and abuses of the term, as well as its contemporary relevance. And we discuss other recent literature on neoliberalism including that of Quinn Slobodian and Peter Boettke. In a piece for the Baffler Ola has described his own visit to the Mont Pelerin Hotel where the conference took place.In a spin-off article has has explored the relations between Friedrich Hayek and Karl (!) Polanyi, which contains a continuation of the discussion about economic calculation in the podcast.

Guest: Peter BoettkeHosted and produced by Erwin Dekker and Reinhard Schumacher In this episode Erwin and Reinhard talk with Peter Boettke about his new book on Hayek, F.A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy, published with Palgrave Macmillan. We discuss the various stages in Hayek’s work, Hayek’s relation to neoliberalism, Pete’s contra-Whig methodology for the history of economics (with a hat tip to Kenneth Boulding), Hayek’s relation to the Scottish Enlightenment, what it means to be an epistemic institutionalist, and the extent to which there was continuity between the early neoclassicals and the Austrian School. As well as many other subjects related to Hayek, and what a Hayekian research program looks like. Peter Boettke is Director of the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, as well as the BB&T Professor for the Study of Capitalism at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and a University Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University. He blogs at coordinationproblem.org.

What should be the focus of economics as a science? Arjo Klamer, Professor of Cultural Economics at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, believes that modern economics has developed a narrow scope, focusing too much on objectivity and the logic of markets. Erwin Dekker, a former Postdoctoral Fellow with the Hayek Program, sits down with Dr. Klamer to discuss his recent work, which seeks to restore economics as a moral science. Klamer also discusses his past work and its relationship with the work of other economists such as Deirdre McCloskey, F. A. Hayek, and Ludwig von Mises. CC Music: Twisterium

Guest: Erwin Dekker, Erasmus University RotterdamHosted and produced by Reinhard Schumacher In this episode, Erwin Dekker talks about his book The Viennese Students of Civilization: The Meaning and Context of Austrian Economics Reconsidered. We discuss Erwin’s cultural approach to the history of economic thought in general, before Erwin talks about the cultural context and historical developments which he argues are important to understand the development of early Austrian economics from its beginning in the late 19th century until the emigration of Austrian scholars in the 1930s. The interview also covers how Austrian economists adapted to their exiles in the English-speaking world and how modern Austrian economics differs from the approach used by Austrian economists in Austria. Towards the end of the interview, we discuss the challenges of writing a book that covers a large group of people, the endeavour of transforming a PhD thesis into a book published by the Cambridge University Press, and the role of historians of economic thought as the last generalists. Erwin is a post-doctoral researcher at the Erasmus School of Economics where he is working on the intellectual biography of Nobel laureate and Dutch economist Jan Tinbergen. He is also assistant professor in cultural economics at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication and has been post-doctoral fellow at the Economics Department of George Mason University. His research focuses on the intersection of art and culture with economics. He has published in the fields of cultural economics, economic methodology and intellectual history, and he is currently working on the moral frameworks which sustain markets. And he is a co-host of this podcast.
