In this episode, Mark Thornton offers a practical “seven-word” framework for navigating economic life, especially when policy chaos and uncertainty make long-term planning harder. Mark connects everyday action (work, learning, planning, saving, spending, giving, and prayer) to core Austrian themes: purposeful choice, psychic profit, time preference, entrepreneurship under uncertainty, and the distortions created by inflation and debt-driven policy.Donate today to celebrate 20 years of Mises Media on YouTube.

La economía estudia la asignación de unos recursos escasos y en la resolución de este problema ético, la filosofía es de mayor utilidad que las matemáticas. María Blanco quiere saber cómo se ha estudiado la economía a lo largo de los siglos. Esta ciencia se matematizó en la segunda mitad del siglo XX por culpa de Paul Samuelson, quien representaría mediante complejas ecuaciones las funciones de la oferta y la demanda. No siempre fue este el método de estudio, los primeros economistas se asemejaban más a los filósofos. Antes de escribir La riqueza de las naciones, Adam Smith había publicado La teoría de los sentimientos morales, un tratado sobre la moral. Por suerte, todo río regresa a su cauce. La economía del siglo XXI será filosófica, no matemática.Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores:⁠Thenomba⁠.

Bolleboos, gabber, hoteldebotel, mesjokke, jofel, kinnesinne, sjlemiel. De rij Jiddische leenwoorden die via Amsterdam hun weg vonden naar onze spreektaal is eindeloos. Mirjam Knotter en Maarten Hell legden de Joodse geschiedenis van Amsterdam vast in Atlas van Mokum. ‘Wat het meest opvalt is de weerbaarheid van de joodse inwoners,' vertelt Mirjam Knotter. Ze hadden namen als Pulmalla en Sosankali, kwamen uit India en werden naar Afrika verscheept om daar hun wildere soortgenoten op te voeden. Dat verhaal gaat niet over mensen, maar olifanten. Sophy Robert schreef Een school voor olifanten over dit plan van de Belgische koning Leopold II. Recensent Pieter van Os bespreekt dit ‘spectaculaire boek over een krankzinnige onderneming'. Wie Trump en de populistische revolte wil begrijpen, moet volgens populismekenner Marijn Kruk het boek Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right lezen. De volgelingen van de econoom Friedrich von Hayek geloven dat de natuurlijke orde en biologische hiërarchie in ere moeten worden hersteld.

Today, the term "Austrian economics" is used to designate two very different paradigms.This essay was originally published in 1993 in the Review of Austrian Economics, Volume 6, Number 2.

Was the populist far right a reaction to neoliberal free market fundamentalism? Or, as historian Quinn Slobodian argues, did such rightwing currents come out of the ideas of neoliberalism itself? Slobodian reflects on neoliberal thinkers' preoccupation with racist and misogynistic ideas of human nature and intelligence, borders and gold — all in service to their war on the left. (Encore presentation.) Quinn Slobodian, Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right Zone Books, 2025 The post The Neoliberal Roots of Rightwing Populism appeared first on KPFA.

Policy proposals from the White Queen. (It's a Lewis Carroll reference. No, I'm not talking about the Mad Hatter or the Red Queen. It's from "Through the Looking Glass".)  Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society By: Eric A. Posner and Eric Glen Weyl Published: 2019 384 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A series of radical proposals for restructuring property, voting, immigration, investing, and employment. All of the proposals seek to solve the problem of "monopolized or missing markets" in ways that seem pretty strange. One has to wonder if there's a good reason those markets didn't exist in the first place.  What authorial biases should I be aware of? Posner has his finger in all sorts of things, and has defended everything from post-9/11 government surveillance to increasing foreign aid. I guess the throughline is a belief in technocratic solutions? Weyl is an economist working for Microsoft who helped popularize the idea of quadratic voting, and had a political awakening while reading Ayn Rand. This feels more like his book than Posner's but perhaps I'm imagining that. Who should read this book? I read this as part of an ACX/SSC book club. Most of the people didn't like it. They felt that it was too radical. (Though you can't say we weren't warned, it's right there in the title.) But if you want to see what mechanisms Georgist economists come up with when they're completely unrestrained, this might be the book for you. What does the book have to say about the future? Hayek is famous for noting that the big advantage of markets is that they are giant distributed systems for discovering prices and allocating resources effectively. They're obviously not perfect, and socialists have long dreamt of having a centrally planned economy that would be fairer and work better. Posner and Weyl imagine a future where computing power and machine learning could take over some of the work currently being done by markets, and thereby improve the outcomes. Specific thoughts: "Six impossible things before breakfast"

À compter de ce samedi 1er février, l'Unrwa, l'agence de l'ONU pour les réfugiés palestiniens, va être contrainte de réduire de 20% ses opérations dans la région, faute de dons suffisants. Le Liban en est l'illustration. Dans les douze camps de réfugiés que compte le pays, les Palestiniens dépendent de l'agence onusienne pour l'éducation, la santé et la gestion des infrastructures. Ces coupes budgétaires mettent en péril encore un peu plus l'avenir de ces réfugiés, dont les ancêtres ont dû fuir leurs terres au moment de la création d'Israël en 1948. De notre correspondante de retour de Chatila, Dans les ruelles étroites du camp de Chatila, un chaos de fils électriques ne laisse passer que quelques rayons de soleil. Noha et Kaouthar viennent de récupérer leurs enfants de l'école Ramallah de l'Unrwa, dont les coupes budgétaires sont sur toutes les lèvres. Noha Mouhaisin, une mère de famille de 44 ans, est habitante de Chatila. Elle a cinq enfants. « Je devais faire une opération nécessaire et urgente, ils m'ont dit qu'ils ne pouvaient pas la prendre en charge. Si je n'avais pas trouvé des gens pour m'aider, j'y serais passée honnêtement, car c'était sérieux. Et les étudiants, c'est la même chose : nos enfants risquent de perdre leur éducation. Nous, on veut qu'ils soient éduqués. Jusqu'où va-t-on tomber ? », se demande-t-elle. Cette autre habitante de Chatila, âgée de 45 ans, explique sa situation. « Mon fils a un handicap et je recevais une aide de 50 dollars tous les trois mois, et même ça, ils nous l'ont enlevée. Ça nous aidait vraiment », souligne Kaouthar el Hayek, mère de quatre enfants et couturière de formation. « Il manque 220 millions de dollars de budget à l'Unrwa » Au Liban, les réfugiés palestiniens sont privés de nombreux droit,s comme l'exercice de métiers qualifiés ou l'accès à la propriété et aux services publics. À cause de ces restrictions, 80% d'entre eux vivent sous le seuil de pauvreté. L'Unrwa est leur seul filet de sécurité. Mais, l'agence doit réduire de 20% ses opérations et ses salaires. Dorothée Klaus, directrice de l'UNRWA au Liban, s'alarme de ces conséquences : « Il manque 220 millions de dollars de budget à l'Unrwa sur son budget global et nous n'avons pas reçu d'indication selon laquelle il pourrait y avoir des solutions pour combler ce déséquilibre budgétaire. Ici, au Liban, il n'y a absolument pas d'alternative à l'Unrwa. Les réfugiés dépendent de nous. Sans nous, il n'y aurait plus d'éducation pour 70% des enfants palestiniens qui vont dans nos écoles, plus de soins pour les 200 000 patients qui dépendent de nos hôpitaux et centres de santé primaire. » À lire aussiL'ONU dévoile son plan de réforme et de réduction budgétaire, avec des conséquences pour ses membres « En finir avec l'Unrwa, c'est en finir avec le dossier des réfugiés » Au-delà de l'humanitaire, l'Unrwa revêt une importance politique pour les Palestiniens, synonyme de droit au retour. Car de génération en génération, l'agence leur délivre une carte de réfugiés. Un symbole que cherche à détruire le gouvernement de Benyamin Netanyahu, fort de représentants de l'extrême droite israélienne. Khaled Abou Nour, membre du comité populaire affilié à l'Organisation de libération de la Palestine à Chatila, réagit : « Bien sûr, les Israéliens se disent que tant que l'Unrwa existera, il y aura des réfugiés palestiniens. En finir avec l'UNRWA, c'est en finir avec le dossier des réfugiés, et c'est ce qui se passe en Palestine, en particulier à Jérusalem, où le siège de l'Unrwa a été détruit. Et à Gaza, où ils empêchent l'Unrwa de faire entrer de l'aide. Tout ça est une manière pour eux d'essayer d'en finir avec la question des réfugiés palestiniens, et d'en faire des citoyens lambda que l'on peut expulser n'importe où dans le monde. » Face à l'urgence, l'Unrwa en appelle au soutien des pays donateurs.

In this episode of In Theory, Disha Karnad Jani interviews Quinn Slobodian on his latest book, "Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right" (Zone Books, 2025). Here, Slobodian looks to the likes of Murray Rothbard, Charles Murray, and Javier Milei and their (mis)readings of Friedrich von Hayek and Ludwig von Mises to reveal the entangled relationship between neoliberalism after the end of the Cold War and the emergence of the Far Right today.

My guest today is Cass R. Sunstein, University Professor at Harvard and one of the most influential legal and political thinkers of our time. A prolific author of dozens of books and hundreds of academic articles, Cass has shaped debates in constitutional law, administrative law, behavioral economics, and public policy. He is regularly ranked amongst the very top of the most cited legal scholars alive. Cass also served as Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs under President Obama. He has advised governments and international organizations around the world, and was awarded the Holberg Prize, the equivalent of a Nobel in law and the humanities.His latest book, On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom, is a systematic defense of the liberal tradition at a moment when it is, as he shows, under unprecedented pressure. Our conversation is centered around his book. We begin with the urgency at the heart of the book: how liberalism confronts critiques from moral conservatives and egalitarian progressives alike, what it means to defend the liberal framework in an era of fragmentation, etc. We then turn to questions of scaling: does liberalism have internal patterns or institutional mechanisms that allow it to scale across diverse societies. We grapple with how the liberal tradition's “big tent” of thinkers (from Mill and Hayek to Roosevelt's Second Bill of Rights) impact liberalism ability to scale. We also explore how liberalism navigates technological change, expertise versus public accountability, and the pretence of knowledge. I hope you enjoy our discussion.You can follow me on X (@⁠⁠ProfSchrepel⁠⁠) and BlueSky (@⁠⁠ProfSchrepel⁠⁠).**References:On Liberalism (MIT Press, 2025) https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049771/on-liberalism/

This week, Bob talks with macroeconomist Roger Farmer—who places himself “between Keynes and Hayek”—about how twentieth-century macroeconomics evolved. They discuss how overlapping generations and search theory change the story on unemployment and asset prices, and where Professor Farmer thinks both neoclassicals and MMT advocates go wrong. Farmer contrasts the old “rocking horse” vision of the economy with his preferred “windy boat” metaphor, where the economy can drift for long periods, and variables like unemployment behave more like random walks than quick returns to a single steady state.Related:Professor Farmer's Article, "How New Keynesian Economics Betrays Keynes": Mises.org/HAP532aThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

In criticizing the progressive notion of equity, or equality of results, critics of such views embrace an order of “meritocracy.” F.A.

Hayek, however, understood that in a free society, inequality is inevitable, and it is something we must accept.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-hayek-rejected-merit-based-equality

Bob uses clips from his recent interview with Eric Weinstein to explain why Weinstein thinks gauge theory can fix how economists measure the cost of living, unify competing price indices, and handle changing preferences over time, and why Austrians shouldn't dismiss him as a crank. He summarizes Eric's claim that standard mathematical economics relies on the simplest kind of derivative, explaining how much of modern economic modeling is using the wrong math.Related: Bob's Interview with Eric Weinstein on the InFi Podcast: Mises.org/HAP530aThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, history teaches us and helps demonstrate what patriotism is. But how can we demand patriotism from immigrants when we have American citizens on the neo-fascist right who trash our history? These people are not America first. How can they be America first when they don't understand our history, or founding? They will ensure that the Republicans lose the midterms and the Democrats choose the next president by causing even a small number of Republican and conservative voters to stay home. And the Marxist-Islamist left loves Carlson and the rest of them, as do the Democrat media that continuously promotes them. They know that he and his ilk will deliver them victories. We must do all we can to overcome this. Later, socialism light is not the answer to affordability. Capitalism is how you create prosperity and growth, which creates affordability and supply. Socialism light is also ineffective against aggressive socialism and the RINO proponents sound like liberals or Marxists. They lack coherent philosophy and resort to attacks while ignoring historical lessons from great minds like Milton Friedman, Mises, Hayek, Adam Smith, Reagan, and Trump. Afterward, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is doing an excellent job. That's why the hate America Democrats relentlessly attack him. They need to get the hell off his back and condemn our enemies instead! Finally, Steve Hilton calls in to discuss his race for Governor of California. He can achieve a political upset next year by adopting Trump's common-sense approach nationwide, focusing on addressing bloated government and high costs driven by the climate insanity.

The Nobel Prize for economics has gone to some serious winners over the years -- Hayek, Friedman, and Mundell come to mind. But the Nobel committee has shamed itself over the years as well (looking at you, Krugman), and more recently seemed to indicate a bias toward so-called economic justice than actual economic productivity and prosperity. That is why this year's winners are an encouragement to those of us who see growth as a moral good, and a rising standard of living for all as dependent on progress, innovation, and growth. It is good for the field of economics when good work is rewarded that explains how the world works, and why. It is far better than rewarding econometrics that explain neither.Show Notes:WSJ article by David Henderson Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute and Austrian economist who correctly called the housing bubble, warns that we're living in an everything bubble with a flock of black swans ready to ignite a crisis. From commercial real estate cover-ups to private equity opacity, data center spending without defined returns, and trillions in government debt, Dr. Thornton explains how Fed manipulation and artificial interest rates have created malinvestments across the economy—and why Trump's push for lower rates will only fuel more bubble activity. He breaks down Austrian Business Cycle Theory, why we're on the on-ramp to hyperinflation with 2026 looking turbulent, and makes the case for gold and silver as essential hedges against fiat money depreciation in a world of central bank money printing and currency debasement.This episode is brought to you by VanEck. Learn more about the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF: http://vaneck.com/REMXJuliaLinksX: https://x.com/DrMarkThorntonFree Hayek book: https://store.mises.org/Hayek-for-the-21st-Century-P11367.aspxMises Institute: https://mises.org/profile/mark-thorntonTimestamps: 0:00 Intro and welcome Dr. Mark Thornton 01:09 Concerns about the macro economy 6:35 Fed manipulation creating vast array of potential swans 12:00 What if inflation ticks up?

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Mamdanism President Trump will meet New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House, a high-profile sit-down that underscores deep ideological divides. Buck analyzes Mamdani’s progressive agenda, including proposals for rent freezes, free public buses, and universal childcare, arguing these policies mirror failed socialist experiments and will worsen housing scarcity in New York City. He explains how government intervention in markets—such as rent control—creates artificial constraints that drive up costs and reduce housing availability, citing economic principles from Hayek’s Road to Serfdom. Buck warns that Mamdani’s tax-hike plans targeting corporations and high earners will further destabilize the city’s economy. FL Gov. Ron DeSantis Buck welcomes FL Governor Ron DeSantis for an in-depth discussion on Florida’s bold proposal to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties. DeSantis explains the economic rationale: skyrocketing property valuations are squeezing young families, while local governments have ballooned budgets from $32 billion in 2019 to $56 billion today. He argues that cutting homestead property taxes would protect true homeownership, reduce market distortions, and leverage Florida’s unique tax base, which relies heavily on non-resident property owners. DeSantis outlines plans for a 2026 ballot initiative, addresses concerns about special interests, and contrasts Florida’s lean, results-driven governance with New York’s bloated spending under progressive leadership. The conversation also touches on New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, warning that policies like rent freezes and anti-police measures will accelerate urban decline. WI Sen. Ron Johnson Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who discusses alarming revelations about the FBI’s handling of the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt on President Trump. Johnson suggests the Bureau may have withheld critical information about Crooks’ online activity, including radicalization indicators, and criticizes the lack of transparency despite bipartisan efforts to investigate. He confirms his committee is pursuing independent inquiries and warns that more details will surface. The conversation shifts to the Epstein Transparency Act, which passed Congress with near-unanimous support. Johnson explains why the Senate fast-tracked the measure and outlines concerns about protecting victims while ensuring public disclosure. He predicts the DOJ will release files within 30 days of Trump’s signature, though some material may remain withheld for legal reasons. Buck and Johnson agree this rare bipartisan moment reflects overwhelming public demand for accountability in the Epstein case. Johnson also tackles FBI abuses under “Operation Arctic Frost,” describing it as a partisan dragnet targeting Trump allies, Republican groups, and even ordinary citizens in Wisconsin. He calls for full exposure of communications between Biden officials and outside legal operatives, framing the probe as an attempt to criminalize lawful political activity. The senator further advocates ending the Senate filibuster, aligning with Trump’s position to secure election integrity, repair Obamacare’s failures, and advance conservative reforms. Bye, Bye, Dept. of Ed? Buck analyzes Karoline Leavitt’s fiery White House briefing, where she announced a major step toward dismantling the Department of Education. Leavitt detailed plans to redistribute its functions across other agencies, moving toward Trump’s campaign promise to return education control to states and eliminate federal overreach. Buck applauds the move, arguing the Department has long served as a progressive policy arm rather than an educational necessity. The show also previews Trump’s upcoming meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, which Levitt characterized as a stark contrast between Trump’s pragmatic leadership and Mamdani’s far-left agenda. Buck predicts fireworks from the meeting and critiques Mamdani’s socialist proposals, including rent freezes and free public transit, as disastrous for New York’s economy.

Prompted by an online debate about whether economics belongs with the hard sciences, Bob reviews common defenses of mainstream practice and explains why they don't settle the scientific status of the field. He outlines the Mises–Rothbard view: economics as praxeology (logic of action), closer to geometry than laboratory testing, with core insights on opportunity cost, incentives, prices, money, and policy constraints that don't depend on forecasting the exact timing of crashes.Understanding Money Mechanics: Mises.org/HAP526aBob's Mises Daily Article, "Economists Can Be Hilarious": Mises.org/HAP526bHoppe's Economic Science and the Austrian Method: Mises.org/HAP526cLessons for the Young Economist: Mises.org/HAP526dThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

You begged us to stop talking about gender, and start talking about economics. So by popular demand we just made up, the Dorx discuss F.A. Hayek's The Road To Serfdom for an hour. Collectivism! Individualism! Planned economies! Marx! Socialism, Communism, and Capitalism! Power! Competition! If that doesn't thrill you or make you fall asleep, we also mention fleas and liquid crystals.Although we answer your not-actually-existent pleas to talk economics, we failed to answer your Listener Questions.

Dr. Jonathan Newman joins the Human Action Podcast to discuss his recent QJAE article disputing the claim that 'sticky prices' prevent markets from clearing--i.e., when the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. Dr. Newman applies Mises's “plain state of rest” to show that each voluntary exchange equates quantities supplied and demanded, so observed “stickiness” doesn't imply non-clearing markets."There Ain't No Such Thing as a Sticky Price": Mises.org/HAP525aThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.
