Hans Hoppe theorized that monarchs, as opposed to democratically-elected political authorities, would have lower time preferences and would be less likely to engage in reckless government spending. Unfortunately, at least one Medieval Danish king acted like a modern politician. Original Article: Do Monarchs Always Have Low Time Preferences?

The Mises Institute's Joe Becker, who studied economics at UNLV under Murray Rothbard and Hans Hoppe and worked in numerous capacities for Ron Paul, discusses a major new project from the Mises Institute that people have been wanting for a long time.
At the 's supporters summit over the weekend, Institute president Jeff Deist and I had an informal discussion after dinner in front of the assembled attendees, and reviewed Hans Hoppe's essay "What Must Be Done" as the springboard for our discussion. Warning: zingy.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 320. From my recent appearance on Stephan Livera's bitcoin-focused podcast, SLP249 BITCOIN PATENTS & OPEN CRYPTO ALLIANCE WITH STEPHAN KINSELLA AND JED GRANT (recorded Feb. 2, 2021; released Feb. 5, 2021). [Update: See transcript here, and appended below] From the show notes: Stephan Kinsella and Jed Grant join me to chat about Open Crypto Alliance. We talk: Why IP laws are anti-liberty and anti-progress How progress has been delayed by improper concepts of property rights How Patent laws could hinder the Bitcoin industry The asymmetry of attack vs defense here How to stop overly broad patents How to support OCA Guest links: Site: https://www.opencryptoalliance.org/ Stephan twitter: @NSKinsella Jed twitter: @JediGrant Prior episodes: SLP15 – Intellectual Property, Bitcoin, and Internet Censorship, with Stephan Kinsella SLP211 Steve Lee – Bitcoin Grants, Design & Crypto Patents (COPA) *** Transcript Podcast Transcript: dcasStephan Livera: Stephan and Jed, welcome to the show. Jed Grant: Thank you. Thanks for having us. Stephan Kinsella: Thanks Stephan. Stephan Livera: Today. We're going to talk a little bit about intellectual property and what it means in terms of Bitcoin and property rights as well. I think many listeners of the show are libertarians themselves, but not all of them. And so I think it might be good. Well, firstly let's talk, let's hear a little bit about each of you just a little bit on your background. Jed, if you want to start? Jed Grant: Sure. Yeah, I'm a technologist I've been in tech. Well, since the eighties, when I got my hands on an Apple II and started writing code I've always been interested in cryptography. Somewhat of a cypherpunk, ended up at NATO running their deployment of TCP IP in the nineties and been an entrepreneur for the last 20, 22 years, more or less and focused on, on security and crypto and technology in that space. So Bitcoin is something that I've been following since basically when the white paper came out as a novelty and really liked the tech and want to see it change the world. So that's sort of my focus. For my professional side. I run a company called KYC 3 and I set out to change the way we do KYC because it's fundamentally broken. So somewhat similar to what Stephan's going to say. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm a KYC guy, but I'm anti KYC. So there you have it. Stephan Livera: And Stephan, just for listeners who maybe they haven't heard you before. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Stephan Kinsella: Sure yeah, I'm a patent attorney in Houston and Texas, I'm from Louisiana originally and I'm a libertarian and I've been interested in libertarian theory and intellectual property stuff for a long time now. And got interested in Bitcoin when it came out and started buying it when I lost a bet to Vijay Boyapati, because I thought in 2012 that the government would kill it. So I lost that bet had to buy some Bitcoins to pay them off. So I bought some for me at the same time. So those Bitcoins are now worth 90,000 or now, $120,000 that I gave him. Stephan Livera: Yeah, that's great. Vijay our mutual friend, he's a regular guest on my show. And for listeners who aren't familiar, Stephan is a really leading thinker in the libertarian world especially in the areas of intellectual property. And also just generally in terms of private property theory and explaining some of the thought of some of the leading lights of the Austrian libertarian world, such as Hans Hoppe and others. I think maybe we can start there as well, because I think for some people they might not be as familiar with this way of thinking and they might be thinking, well, hang on. I thought these people put in work to create intellectual property. So why shouldn't that also be respected as a quote unquote private property, right?
Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 302. From The Human Action Podcast, Oct. 23, 2020, with Jeff Deist, discussing Hans-Hermann Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed, chapters 5-8. Transcript below. From the Mises.org shownotes: Lawyer and libertarian theorist Stephan Kinsella joins the show to discuss the middle chapters of Hoppe's Democracy, The God That Failed—in particular dealing with "desocialization" of collective property, immigration, and free trade. These are the most controversial and widely-discussed parts of the book, and Kinsella provides a fascinating analysis of property vs. wealth, the problems with public ownership and forced integration, and the concept of rule-setting for state property. And don't miss the final part of the show for his explanation of "Hoppephobia."

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us, and welcome back once again to the Human Action podcast, a show we do every week where we are not afraid of books, even the 900-page books. And that's really what the show is all about is working our way through what we consider important or seminal works in the broad, let's say, Austro-libertarian landscape, and then by doing so, hopefully encouraging you to read these books, to tackle these books and also helping you through them as you go. 00:00:38 So that's the goal, and as you know, we have recently started with Hans-Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed, and we chose this purposely because we had three weeks left until the election, so we're breaking it up into three sections. And last week we were lucky to be joined by my friend, Jayant Bhandari, and we had a great talk about things like time preference and civilization and capital at the beginning of that book. And in the mid part of this book where Hoppe gets into the discussion of centralization and trade and immigration, I thought there would be nobody better to invite on the show than Stephan Kinsella with whom most of you are already familiar no doubt. 00:01:19 He is a patent attorney. He has written extensively on not just libertarian theory but I would say more narrowly libertarian legal theory, which is a bit of a different animal. And also, of course, he's perhaps best known for his work on IP, and we will link to at least one article of his, which we shall discuss during the show. We will link to his book, Against Intellectual Property, at the mises.org site. If you haven't read it, and you – or maybe you don't have developed thoughts about IP in the digital age, you should read it. You can read it easily over a weekend, and I very much encourage you to do so regardless of where you fall on that debate. I – my personal feelings are in line with Kinsella on that topic, by the way. So all that said, Stephan, thanks for joining. 00:02:08 STEPHAN KINSELLA: Glad to be here, Jeff. 00:02:09 JEFF DEIST: Well, I want to ask you before we get into the book, it came out in 2001. Unfortunately, the Mises Institute doesn't own this book, wish we did. So where were you? What were you doing in 2001? Where were you living? How did you become aware of Hoppe or this book? 00:02:25 STEPHAN KINSELLA: Oh 2001. That's a good question. I remember that because that was the year of 9/11. I was back in Houston. I'm from Louisiana. I had moved to Houston as a lawyer in 1992 and moved to Philadelphia in '94 and been there for a few years and moved back to Houston. And I remember in 2001,

Liberty Weekly - Libertarian, Ancap, & Voluntaryist Legal Theory from a Rothbardian Perspective
In this scholarly episode of the podcast, I explain how a post from The Principled Libertarian led me down a rabbithole where I discovered the libertarian "Title Theory" of contracts. I explain, then compare and contrast, the orthodox consideration-based contract theory with the libertarian title-based theory.

Debating Wright Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 234. This is a debate on IP between me and a noted Bitcoin expert, Craig Wright, hosted and moderated by the Vin Armani show. Transcript below. After the debate I was in London to attend the inaugural 2018 meeting of Mises UK and to hang with my boys Lee Iglody, Jeff Barr, Doug French, and Hans Hoppe, and had challenged Wright to a debate during a few twitter run-ins (still on-going); I accepted and since I happened to be in London, Wright set it up and we did it at a local studio, with Armani moderating from Vegas. Further comments appear on my Facebook post and also on the Youtube post (below). Update [7/17/19]: I had my buddies Jeff Barr and Doug French in the room watching, and after the debate, invited Craig to drinks in the hotel bar. We had an interesting, if a bit bizarre and intense, discussion for an hour or so. But in the ensuing weeks, things between us devolved on Twitter. Wright had promised to produce "proof" of patents stimulating innovation during the debate, and apparently, like with many of his promises to produce something, never came through. I pointed that out on Twitter and he eventually ended up blocking me, as well as the podcast's host, Vin Armani, who at the time was, with Wright, a fellow BCH advocate (Vin is still a BCHer but Craig has split off again with his BSV). Of course, in the meantime, Wright has amped up his risible claims to be Satoshi and has been involved in a number of controversial issues in the bitcoin/crypto community. What a character. Also: during the debate I referred to him as Dr. Wright, since he claims to have several PhDs, but now I am not sure he has any legitimate PhDs, other perhaps than one in "theology", so I should not have called him "Dr." That was too deferential. On the other hand, he did pay for the venue and related costs, so I was being polite. Youtube (with captions): https://youtu.be/5ckcdnD9lFw Original Youtube (which contains a large number of comments; see below): ❧ TRANSCRIPT Intellectual Property Debate: Stephan Kinsella vs. Craig Wright Stephan Kinsella, Craig Wright, and Vin Armani Vin Armani Show, London and Las Vegas, Jan. 27, 2018 00:00:00 VIN ARMANI: Welcome everyone to today's debate. We are debating intellectual property. The two opponents are Stephan Kinsella and Craig Wright. Stephan Kinsella is an attorney in Houston, director of the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom and editor of Libertarian Papers. He is one of the foremost libertarian experts on intellectual property. 00:00:23 And Dr. Craig Wright is an inventor, computer scientist, and businessman who is one of the earliest minds behind Bitcoin. He's the chief scientist at nChain research and development company involved in Bitcoin and blockchain technologies. So today what we are going to be debating is the following resolution resolved. Intellectual property law is a legitimate and useful institution that belongs in the emerging global sphere of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. 00:00:54 Craig Wright will be arguing for the resolution, and Stephan Kinsella will be arguing against. This debate is going to consist of a series of five-minute statements and rebuttals, a series of rounds. The first round is going to be an opening statement from each of the debaters. We are going to start with – did we say we're starting with Craig Wright? So we will start with Craig Wright who is arguing for the resolution. Dr. Wright, if you will. 00:01:26 CRAIG WRIGHT: Thank you. So basically what we're looking at is the idea that intellectual property has no value from other people. Now, I would argue it does, not because of the common constraints and whatever else people put about scarcity and what they think about copying but for a number of reasons first as the scarcity of good ideas. There are many ideas out there in the world,
Debating Wright Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 234. This is a debate on IP between me and a noted Bitcoin expert, Dr. Craig Wright, hosted and moderated by the Vin Armani show. After the debate I was in London to attend the inaugural 2018 meeting of Mises UK and to hang with my boys Lee Iglody, Jeff Barr, Doug French, and Hans Hoppe, and had challenged Wright to a debate during a few twitter run-ins (still on-going); I accepted and since I happened to be in London, Wright set it up and we did it at a local studio, with Armani moderating from Vegas. Further comments appear on my Facebook post and also on the Youtube post (below). Update [7/17/19]: I had my buddies Jeff Barr and Doug French in the room watching, and after the debate, invited Craig to drinks in the hotel bar. We had an interesting, if a bit bizarre and intense, discussion for an hour or so. But in the ensuing weeks, things between us devolved on Twitter. Wright had promised to produce "proof" of patents stimulating innovation during the debate, and apparently, like with many of his promises to produce something, never came through. I pointed that out on Twitter and he eventually ended up blocking me, as well as the podcast's host, Vin Armani, who at the time was, with Wright, a fellow BCH advocate (Vin is still a BCHer but Craig has split off again with his BSV). Of course, in the meantime, Wright has amped up his risible claims to be Satoshi and has been involved in a number of controversial issues in the bitcoin/crypto community. What a character. Also: during the debate I referred to him as Dr. Wright, since he claims to have several PhDs, but now I am not sure he has any legitimate PhDs, other perhaps than one in "theology", so I should not have called him "Dr." That was too deferential. On the other hand, he did pay for the venue and related costs, so I was being polite.
In this episode I review the history of rights theories in the West from the Middle Ages through the 20th century. Expect to hear about the medieval canonists, the late scholastics, John Locke, Murray Rothbard, and Hans Hoppe, among others.
Tom discusses the work of Hans-Hermann Hoppe (who doesn't really do audio interviews anymore, by the way)
Berlin provides us with an example that comes as close to that of a controlled social experiment as one could probably hope to get, writes Hans Hoppe.This audio Mises Daily is narrated by Keith Hocker.
Archived from the live Mises.tv broadcast, this lecture by Hans Hoppe was presented at the 2011 Mises University in Auburn, Alabama.
