Podcasts about Hayek

The Republican Party is often associated with free-market fundamentalism, deregulation, and tax cuts. But a new faction on the right is challenging that consensus. In this episode, Bethany and Luigi sit down with Chris Griswold, the Policy Director at American Compass. Drawing on Catholic social teaching, Griswold argues that we need to stop viewing our economy as a force of nature or an end unto itself, but a tool meant to serve human flourishing and dignity.  The conversation explores if the traditional neoliberal regime has failed working-class Americans, and whether policy should step in to channel capital toward productive uses. To fix our current system, Griswold argues we need to go back to a first-principles question: What is capitalism, or any economy for that matter, actually for? Connect with us:

In this episode I talk with Stephanie Slade, senior editor at Reason magazine and author of the forthcoming book Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, out September 1, 2026 on University of Notre Dame Press. Slade argues that fusionism is much more than the Cold War coalition between conservatives and libertarians, but is rather a philosophy in which the pursuit of liberty and virtue are bound to one another. Slade explains how a free society is impossible without the cultivation of virtue, and how libertarians and conservatives have often marginalized or even outright rejected the value of virtue in social discourse. Slade explains how fusionism, through the work of F.A. Hayek and Frank Meyer, won out during the Reagan administration but then became a casualty of its own success. She discusses how liberty without virtue leads to cultural degradation and how virtue cannot be properly pursued without liberty, why the right needs to reclaim the mantle of fusionism, and why Christian libertarians should be naturally predisposed to fusionists ideals.  Media Referenced:Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right: https://a.co/d/01kUhQx6Stephanie on X: @sladesrStephanie at Reason: https://reason.com/people/stephanie-slade/Ep. 58 Slade Interview: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-58-political-expression-civil-rights-and-catholic-libertarianism-with-stephanie-slade/ Sign up for LCI's 2026 Conference in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, October 17!

Last week, the Mayor of New York City — a self-declared democratic socialist — sat down with Jon Stewart and delivered sixty minutes of the most carefully packaged pitch for socialist governance I have ever seen on mainstream American media. No shouting. No revolutionary slogans. Potholes. Childcare. Dignity. If you think this doesn't affect you because New York City is just New York City — understand this: what Mamdani is building is explicitly designed to be a national model. It is coming to your city next. So I'm going to break down his arguments and equip you with everything you need to not just defeat them, but to do so in such a way that robs him of the moral legitimacy that he is trying to steal.GET YOUR MERCH HERE: https://shop.nickjfreitas.com/BECOME A MEMBER OF THE IC: https://NickJFreitas.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickjfreitas/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickFreitasVATwitter: https://twitter.com/NickJFreitasYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickjfreitasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickjfreitas3.000:00:00 – The three lies socialists always tell00:06:49 – Who really made NYC childcare unaffordable?00:12:35 – Fact-check: rent control and the true cost of "$60 million for tenants"00:17:22 – The non-answer: what democratic socialism actually is00:24:43 – Why the socialist utopia never arrives00:28:43 – How they really seize control: rent freezes and government grocery stores00:35:14 – The library lie: dressing up socialism as public goods00:40:51 – FDR, Mussolini, and socialist vs fascist economics00:43:07 – The dependency trap and Hayek's road to serfdom00:46:24 – The real definition, suspended elections, and Venezuela's collapse00:50:08 – No solutions, only tradeoffs: who hollowed out New York00:55:37 – The three lies, recapped

Murray Rothbard's project drastically changed in mid-1953. Unable to rely on Mises's sparse treatment of production theory, Rothbard adopted his old Marshallian approach, focusing on an individual firm that faced fixed prices and restricted investment decisions. But he soon recognized the pitfalls of Marshallian partial equilibrium and discarded it for Austrian general equilibrium, emphasizing the Böhm-Bawerkian capitalist-entrepreneur's ability to invest in multiple firms across the structure of production and influence market prices. In doing so, Rothbard finished the Böhm-Baverkian system by integrating the pure time preference theory of interest of Frank A. Fetter and Ludwig von Mises into the production structure analysis of Knut Wicksell and F. A. Hayek. This interrelatedness approach led Rothbard to differentiate between factor incomes, apply Mises's theory of the impossibility of socialist economic calculation to a vertically integrated firm, and expose the flaws of neoclassical monopoly and competition theory. With these theoretical breakthroughs, by 1955 Rothbard moved beyond his initial goal of “bringing to the surface and clarifying” his mentor's “edifice” to deducing the architectonic edifice of praxeological economic theory along the lines of Mises's “great book” suggestion.

Dimitri and Khalid continue wading through the Caribbean shell companies and Swiss bank accounts of Bruce Rappaport in Alan Block's “All Is Clouded By Desire”, specifically his network's activities in and around the late Soviet Union/new Russian economy starting in the late 1980s.

First mate Steve Hayes strides across the deck, grinning maniacally at the cowering crew. “Mine” he crows to himself. “Mine! The HMS Remnant is finally mine! Muahahaha!” The crew, downcast, is near despair. Then suddenly, all eyes turn to the gangplank. Haggard, sunburned, stricken, and emaciated, Jonah Goldberg stumbles onto the deck, takes Hayes by the collar, and gasps, “Sand. Nothing but sand.” After recovering down below, Captain Goldberg is back at the helm and ready to dive into the Grand Canyon, advertising, Vegas, Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, the Christianization thesis, black Helen, DSA, voter turnout, the stupidity of abolishing the Senate, “unfettered capitalism,” Hayek v. Friedman, conservative liberal or liberal conservative, Teddy Roosevelt, and postliberal collapse.  Show Notes: —John Podhoretz on The Odessey —Tom Holland on The Odyssey  —Matt Walsh tweet about The Odessey  —Charlie Cooke on abolishing the Senate —Jonah in Commentary:  “Socialism is so Hot Right Now” —Newsweek: “We Are All Socialist Now” —Escalon Insights poll on medicare for all —Live Sarah Isgur Remnant —Ron Bailey Remnant —Ask Me Anything Remnant  —Jonah's book Liberal Fascism  —Live Yuval Levin Remnant —Irving Kristol: “The American Revolution as a Successful Revolution” The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

Is neoliberalism a real intellectual tradition or just an insult? Tho Bishop argues it is real and precise: a program for a regulated market economy running on technocratically managed, socialized money. He traces it from Henry Simons's 1934 "A Positive Program for Laissez-Faire" into the Mont Pelerin Society—where Mises watched enthusiasm for antitrust and credit expansion take root, and where the vacuum left by Hayek was filled by Chicago rather than by libertarians—and forward through Friedman's career to Greenspan and Bernanke. The Rothbardians, he concludes, have been the only sustained non-socialist opposition.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 25, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

The Theory and Method faculty panel takes questions from Mises University students. They work through the tough theoretical ones (whether "supply-shock" inflation is really monetary, what Hayek got wrong about prices, how the mainstream's new "causal inference" differs from praxeological causation, whether transaction-cost economics fits an Austrian framework), then turn personal: the moment each of them discovered there was a way to do economics connected to the real world.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 24, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Tate Fegley uses Joseph Salerno's work to draw out the fundamental differences between Mises and Hayek—on society, law, the family, and above all the calculation problem versus the knowledge problem—arguing that treating the two as interchangeable obscures the distinctly Misesian paradigm.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 23, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Why do so many intellectuals despise the market that sustains them? Ralph Raico weighs Hayek's theory of "scientism" against Schumpeter's portrait of a resentful, over-produced intelligentsia—and finds both wanting, pointing instead to the harder puzzle: why capitalism's most successful intellectuals are so often its fiercest critics.Excerpted from chapter 3 of Classical Liberalism and the Austrian School.

Bob uses U.S. economic history, centering on the greenback era, to work through some subtle but important distinctions in Austrian monetary theory. He also addresses whether free-market economies have a natural tendency toward price deflation under a commodity standard, why the stock-versus-flow distinction matters for understanding gold production and the price level, and how to distinguish "bad" policy-induced monetary deflation from the "good" price deflation that accompanies genuine productivity growth.Related:Patrick Newman, "The Depression of 1873-1879: An Austrian Perspective": Mises.org/HAP558aClarence Long, "The Course of Money Wages during 1860-1890": Mises.org/HAP558bBob's Understanding Money Mechanics: Mises.org/HAP558cBob's Article, "Hayek's Plan for Private Money": Mises.org/HAP558dThe Charts Shown in this Episode: Mises.org/HAP558e

A Flock camera helped police identify the wrong woman. She needed her own cameras to prove the government was wrong. In this Dumb Bleep of the Week, Nate and Chuck examine Flock surveillance cameras, license-plate tracking, police certainty, and the growing infrastructure of the surveillance state. They also react to a city official discussing AI-equipped trash trucks that could scan homes for broken windows, bad roofs, and unpermitted remodeling. Zoran Mamdani invokes Friedrich Hayek while blaming capitalists for New York City's problems. The guys break down rent control, regulation, taxation, socialism, Austrian economics, and why government interference keeps getting mislabeled as free-market failure. Also covered: offensive-speech tickets, Mitch McConnell's hospital stay, congressional age, the 17th Amendment, Scott Jennings' circular Israel argument, Trump's "Freedom Fuel," Black English in California preschools, and US Soccer's equal-prize-money policy.

In this episode of Liberty + Leadership, Roger Ream sits down with Christopher Coyne, professor of economics at George Mason University and TFAS faculty member, to discuss his new book, “Austrian Economics: An Introduction”, co-authored with Abigail Hall.Roger and Christopher explore the origins and enduring relevance of the Austrian School of economics, tracing its development from Carl Menger and Ludwig von Mises to F.A. Hayek and Israel Kirzner. Together, they discuss subjective value, economic calculation, entrepreneurship, spontaneous order and the role prices play in helping individuals coordinate activity in a complex and changing world.The conversation also examines why central planning fails, whether artificial intelligence changes the calculation problem and how Austrian economics can help students understand contemporary debates over industrial policy, government intervention, economic development and human flourishing. These ideas remain essential for understanding markets, preserving individual freedom and preparing the next generation to think seriously about economic life.The Liberty + Leadership Podcast is hosted by TFAS president Roger Ream and produced by Podville Media.

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into one of the most alarming environmental health discoveries of our time: microplastics are infiltrating our brains—and the implications for cognitive health may be profound. Our conversation with Dr. Matt Campen, a distinguished professor and toxicologist, and Dr. Eliane El Hayek, an assistant professor at the forefront of microplastic research helps us unravel the science behind how these tiny plastic particles enter our bodies, cross the blood-brain barrier, and potentially contribute to neurological decline. From the water we drink to the air we breathe, microplastics are everywhere—and emerging research suggests they may be accumulating in brain tissue at concerning levels. Our guests explain the latest findings, the potential mechanisms of harm, and what this means for dementia risk and brain health across the lifespan. 

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas sweats his way through a personally revealing exchange with Quinn Slobodian, Professor of International History at Boston University and the author of Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right. Quinn explains: Friedrich Hayek's “knowledge problem” and his defence of markets over central planning. Hayek's later theory of cultural evolution, inherited institutions, and the limits of universal market society. The split between “cultural Austrians” at George Mason University and “racial Austrians” around the Mises Institute. Murray Rothbard's move from courting anti-war hippies to building alliances with paleoconservatives and racial nationalists. Hans-Hermann Hoppe, anarcho-capitalism, secession, and racially homogeneous private communities. The Bell Curve, Charles Murray, IQ research, and the politics of scientific claims about race and inequality. The difference between ideas that are empirically false and ideas rejected because they are morally disturbing. The post-Cold War transformation of neoliberal enemies from communism to environmentalism, affirmative action, feminism, and welfare. The divide between neoconservatives and paleoconservatives over US foreign policy, nationalism, and the Iraq War. Whether Hayek's Bastards reveals a major genealogy of the modern Far Right—or exaggerates the influence of a provocative fringe.

Murray N. Rothbard was a system builder in the mode of Ludwig von Mises, Frank H. Knight, and F. A. Hayek. Social, economic, and political problems are intertwined and complex and require a grand theory to address them. For Rothbard, the unifying theme of social theory was liberty.Original article in The Misesian: https://mises.org/misesian/murray-n-rothbard-toward-science-liberty

What Is Austrian Economics - And Why Every Serious Bitcoin Holder Eventually Goes Down This Rabbit Hole (Part 2)In 1984 Friedrich Hayek said the only way to get sound money back was to introduce something governments can't stop by some sly roundabout way. Bitcoin's first block was mined 25 years later.Part 2 connects the 150 year old Austrian Economics tradition directly to Bitcoin how Satoshi's design choices map onto ideas that were written before his parents were born, why Bitcoin solves the one thing gold couldn't, and what understanding all of this changes about how serious holders think about the asset they're sitting on.If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet start there first.In this episode:Why Satoshi's design is Austrian Economics in code the Genesis Block headline, the P2P Foundation post, and why the cypherpunks who built Bitcoin had been reading Hayek and Rothbard for decades before the whitepaper was publishedWhy gold lost in 1971 and how Bitcoin fixes the one fatal flaw that allowed governments to capture it including Roosevelt's 1933 gold confiscation and what it means for self custody todayWhat the Austrian concept of time preference actually changes about how you hold Bitcoin not whether to hold it, but the mental framework that makes holding through 70% drops feel completely differentIf this landed hit Follow on Apple Podcasts.

El escritor liberal analiza el futuro de la región y desmonta los mitos totalitarios en su nueva obra, ‘Nazi-Comunismo'. Iberoamérica vive uno de sus momentos políticos más intensos y polarizados de las últimas décadas. Presidentes que generan pasiones globales, batallas ideológicas sin cuartel y países que oscilan entre el colapso y la transformación radical. Además, se suman las recientes elecciones en Colombia y en Perú, así como el fenómeno que causa el presidente argentino, Javier Milei. Esta semana, en Economía para Quedarte sin Amigos, contamos con Axel Kaiser, escritor, pensador liberal, abogado, profesor universitario y presidente de la Fundación para el Progreso de Chile, para analizar el mapa político del continente y presentar su libro Nazi-comunismo, publicado por Editorial Deusto, en el que defiende que nazismo y comunismo son dos caras de la misma moneda. Apoyándose en fuentes primarias, muchas de ellas solo disponibles en alemán, Kaiser argumenta que el nazismo y el marxismo-leninismo comparten cinco elementos esenciales. "La gente no va a poder creer cómo la identidad ideológica criminal del marxismo es la misma que tiene el nazismo", señala Kaiser, que también recuerda que los propios Mises y Hayek ya advirtieron de ello. Que el mismo Mussolini llevara una medalla de Karl Marx en el bolsillo durante años, o que Hitler tomara ideas directamente de Marx para incorporarlas a su matriz ideológica, son datos que el libro documenta con precisión y que explican por qué la descalificación fácil de "facho" sigue siendo una herramienta para cerrar debates.Música Esta semana, la protagonista de nuestra selección musical es el grupo hispano-argentino Los Rodríguez. Y estos son los temas que hemos escuchado: "Sin Documentos" "Para No Olvidar" "Mucho Mejor" "Dulce Condena"

In this episode, Alex speaks with Matt Zwolinski about whether markets are coercive, and why the answer is more complicated than either “markets are voluntary” or “capitalism is coercion.” They discuss Robert Hale's classic argument, the limits of standard libertarian responses, and why a better liberal defence of markets has to take real-world coercion seriously without treating all coercion as morally equal.

Two hundred and fifty years after Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, the economy looks very different from the world he described.Firms are bigger. Production is more centralized. AI and automation are changing what companies can do at scale. And yet markets still matter, perhaps more than ever, in deciding which firms rise, which fall, and how innovation spreads.In this episode of Central Questions, Stefan Ingves speaks with Yueran Ma, Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, about the rise of large corporations, the changing role of capital and labor, and what Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Hayek can still teach us about today's economy.They discuss why the largest firms now account for a growing share of output and assets, why employment has not concentrated in the same way, what AI could mean for productivity and inequality, and why financial markets may be crucial for spreading the gains from capital more broadly.Guest: Yueran Ma, Professor of Finance, University of Chicago Booth School of BusinessHost: Stefan Ingves, former Governor of the Riksbank and Senior Fellow at Swedish House of FinanceTopics: Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations, Yueran Ma, Stefan Ingves, Central Questions, Swedish House of Finance, large firms, corporations, AI, automation, capital deepening, productivity, corporate finance, economic growth, financial markets, capitalism, Karl Marx, Hayek, visible hand, invisible hand, firm concentration, monetary policy, innovation, Chicago Booth

Doch bevor Nick Hayek im OMR Podcast dazu kommt, zündet er erstmal genüsslich eine Zigarre an. Dann spricht der Swatch-Group-Chef über… ... die Royal-Pop-Kollaboration von Swatch und Audemars Piguet, Prügeleien vor den Stores und einen besorgten Anruf vom französischen Innenminister ... Konkurrenten von Rolex bis Apple – und warum er weder vor der Schweizer Luxusmarke noch vor der Smartwatch aus Cupertino Angst hat. ... seinen Knallhart-Kurs bei Promi-Geschenken: Ja, sogar VIPs müssen in den Swatch-Shop, wenn sie eine Uhr kaufen wollen ...

How does a free, decentralized, volunteer-run encyclopedia produce something more trusted than nearly any for-profit institution? Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean sit down with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales to explore how the platform organizes global knowledge.  The conversation unpacks how Wikipedia governs itself without a central authority, why consensus beats voting, and what the deliberate vagueness of its rules actually protects against. But is artificial intelligence a looming threat to this system? Wales questions whether these new technologies can actually verify truth without the human feedback loops that correct traditional platforms.  Can the community-driven approach of Wikipedia teach the broader business world how to survive an era of deep digital skepticism? Tune in to discover if spontaneous human order is truly the ultimate defense against an automated future. Connect with us:

The fiat money system has survived the Great Inflation, the global financial crisis, and a pandemic. But can it survive digital currencies?Bitcoin and the blockchain solved a genuine problem in computer science: how to stop people spending the same money twice. Forty years of successful inflation control means central bank money is stable; that is the stability in stablecoins, attempting to solve the volatility problem. What's next? What if the unit of account itself were indexed to consumer prices? Digitalisation might finally make that approach viable at scale. Price stability, by design.Will we still need cash? Maybe not now, But if you never use it, it may not be there if the blackout comes.The research behind this episode:Stracca, Livio. 2025. Redefining the Monetary Standard in the Digital Age: Digital Innovations and the Future of Monetary Policy. Springer Nature.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Livio Stracca. 2026. "Redefining the monetary standard." VoxTalks Economics (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestLivio Stracca is Deputy Director General for International and European Relations at the European Central Bank, where he has worked for more than two decades. His research spans monetary economics, international finance, and the implications of digitalisation for central banking, with extensive work on exchange rates, capital flows, and the architecture of the international monetary system. Research cited in this episodeThe double-spend problem. The fundamental challenge in any decentralised digital payment system: how to prevent a participant from spending the same unit of money twice when there is no trusted central authority to verify transactions. Bitcoin's 2008 white paper offered an innovative solution by making the transaction ledger public, cumulative, and computationally expensive to rewrite. The trade-off is that transparency sacrifices privacy; every transaction is visible to all participants in the network.The blockchain. A distributed ledger in which transactions are grouped into sequential blocks, each cryptographically linked to the one before. Reversing any transaction requires rewriting every subsequent block, which demands enormous computational effort. This design solves the double-spend problem in a decentralised network but makes the system slow and costly to operate at scale.The payment trilemma. A framework discussed in the episode and in Stracca's book: any digital payment system can optimise for at most two of three properties simultaneously (universal access, security against fraudulent transactions, and privacy). Cash is the only instrument that escapes the trilemma; digital systems must accept a trade-off among the three, and the choice is often made implicitly by the designer of the system rather than through democratic deliberation.Hayek, Friedrich A. 1976. Denationalisation of Money. London: Institute of Economic Affairs. The classic argument for currency competition: let currencies compete freely and the one providing the most stable prices will win. Economists, including Milton Friedman, largely rejected the proposal on the grounds that money exhibits strong network externalities; the more people use a currency, the more attractive it becomes to the next user, producing a natural tendency towards monopoly. A formal modern revisitation, finding similar conclusions, is Fernández-Villaverde, Jesús, and Daniel Sanches. 2019. "Can Currency Competition Work?" Journal of Political Economy 127 (3): 1017 to 1058.Irving Fisher's compensated dollar. A proposal published in Fisher, Irving. 1913. "A Compensated Dollar." Quarterly Journal of Economics 27 (2): 213–235 (the same year the Federal Reserve was created). Fisher argued for a dollar whose purchasing power was held constant by adjusting its gold content in line with prices. The mechanical details of his proposal are no longer relevant, but its animating idea (indexing the unit of account to a price level) has gained new plausibility in a digital context.The Unidad de Fomento. Chile's inflation-indexed unit of account, in operation since 1967 and updated daily against the consumer price index. It is used widely in long-term contracts, including mortgages, and functions as a security that can be traded. Stracca cites it as evidence that an indexed monetary standard is operationally feasible, and as a prototype for what a digital equivalent might look like at larger scale.The Great Moderation. The period of low and stable inflation in advanced economies running roughly from the mid-1980s until the inflation episode of 2021 to 2023. Economists attribute it to improved monetary policy frameworks, particularly central bank independence, inflation targeting, and (crucially, in Stracca's account) the introduction of interest on reserves, which gave central banks precise control over the short-term interest rate without draining liquidity. Stracca treats the Great Moderation as the benchmark against which any proposed reform of the monetary standard must be judged.Programmable money. A form of digital money in which payment is conditional on an independently verifiable event, potentially confirmed by a machine rather than a human intermediary. Example: a payment that executes automatically when a delivery is confirmed by a sensor. Decentralised ledgers make such conditional payments technically straightforward; traditional banking systems can approximate them but with far greater friction. Stracca notes significant enthusiasm for programmable money but also real scepticism about whether the benefits outweigh the complexity in practice.More VoxTalks Economics episodesStablecoins and Global Imbalances, Gilles Moëc explains why we can think of stablecoins as a radical macroeconomic experiment that has arrived at exactly the moment the US external position is showing signs of stress.Can blockchain decentralise money, contracts, and finance?

Listen to the full episode In this contribution to an ongoing co-host conversation, Matthew argues that the liberal centre's habit of punching left is a historically conditioned class strategy. From FDR's New Deal—designed to inoculate capitalism against socialism—through Hayek, Buckley, the Birchers, Limbaugh, and the Obama-era "socialist medicine" smear, liberals have accepted the premises of Red Scare attacks, because doing so served their own interest in disciplining the actual left.  The result is a Ratchet Effect that pulls discourse perpetually rightward, and a narrowing of the Overton window to convert anticapitalist politics into psychological pathology.  When the liberal centre engineers conditions in which no structural challenge to capitalism is rational, it can caricature the resulting conflict as hysteria, cultishness, and immaturity. There's also a gendered dynamic going on here, in which the leftist is unreasonable, nitpicky, always demanding too much, focused on minutiae but also big feelings, and always missing the “big picture”. Sometimes the only real division between right wing and liberal responses to the left is the difference between outright hatred and resentful dismissal.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I am delighted to talk with Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff about their new book, Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed. This is much more than a biography or popular account of Elon Musk, it is a radical analysis of a deeply disturbing, computational way of seeing the world.  We see a mind that is profoundly troubled by any contagion spreading into seemingly closed systems—it can take the form of racial others, transpeople, “woke” populations, or most generally and dismissively, “Non-Player-Characters.” We talk about the dangers this mindset and its manifestations have on democracy and the public sphere, and argue that what we should do is to “embrace the woke-mind virus as a counter-revolutionary act.”Quinn Slobodian is professor of international history at the Frederick S.

While he was never mentioned in West German economic textbooks, his name figured prominently in Commie East Germany. In one of these textbooks, you could also find some detailed criticisms of Western, so-called bourgeois economics and economists, among them Friedman and Hayek, but in particular also Mises, who was singled out as the most wrongheaded, dangerous, and detestable of them all.

The Neuroscience of Resilience: Building Pressure-Proof Leadership with Claire HayekIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Claire Hayek, the founder of mspteambuilding.ca, neuro-leadership expert, and host of The Neuro Leadership Edge. Claire's unique approach to executive development centers on "mental fitness"—the specialized training required to rewire the brain for calm authority in high-stakes environments. This conversation serves as a strategic masterclass for founders and CEOs who find themselves reacting to the volatility of the market rather than leading through it, offering a neuroscience-backed roadmap for building resilient leadership systems that thrive under pressure.Neuro-Leadership: Shifting from Reactive Stress to Intentional AuthorityThe most significant barrier to effective leadership in high-pressure situations is the biological hardwiring of the human brain. Claire Hayek explains that when stakes are high, the amygdala—the brain's fight-or-flight center—often hijacks the prefrontal cortex, leading to knee-jerk reactions, indecision, or cultural erosion. Mental fitness is the practice of training the brain to override these survival instincts, allowing a leader to remain steady and decisive even when the organization is in crisis. By focusing on neuroplasticity, Claire helps executive teams move away from default stress responses and toward an internal "operating system" that models calm and inspires confidence across the entire workforce.To transition from "firefighting" to intentional authority, leaders must embrace "the power of the pause." Claire advocates for a simple yet transformative neuroscience-backed technique: taking a purposeful one-to-two-second pause followed by deep breathing when pressure mounts. This physical intervention signals the nervous system to shift brain activity back to executive functions, improving clarity and preventing the cultural fallout that occurs when a leader reacts poorly. This practice isn't just about personal composure; it is a strategic leadership tool that influences the collective emotional state of the room, realigning the team toward actionable next steps rather than dwelling on the weight of the stakes.Building a truly pressure-proof organization requires moving beyond traditional social icebreakers and into strategic team development. Claire utilizes hands-on tools like Lego Serious Play to help executive teams co-create protocols and commitments tailored to their unique organizational challenges. This process of co-creation ensures buy-in and alignment, turning resilience from an abstract concept into a repeatable habit. By investing in leadership systems that prioritize mental fitness and functional team building, organizations can avoid the invisible financial losses associated with executive hesitation and poor decision-making, ultimately creating a culture of trust that can weather any storm.About Claire HayekClaire Hayek is the Founder of Mind Soul Purpose (MSP) Team Building and a recognized expert in neuro-leadership.

Bob responds to a new working paper from the Geo-chartalism project, which claims to offer a complete theory of the price level by combining insights from Menger, Cantillon, and Warren Mosler. Bob argues that the paper overlooks a crucial prior contribution: Mises' regression theorem, developed in The Theory of Money and Credit, which already solved the circularity problem in monetary theory that the paper claims required Mosler to resolve. Along the way, Bob also explains chartalism, Georgism, and Mises's explanation of the absolute price level.Related:Bob's Paper Critiquing Kevin Carson's Studies in Mutualist Political Economy: Mises.org/HAP548aGeorge Charles, “The Mosler-Cantillon-Menger Synthesis”: Mises.org/HAP548bMMT vs. Austrian School Debate: Mises.org/HAP548cThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

Bob sits down with researcher Robert Aro to review his recent Mises.org article on why the widely anticipated post-QT crash never materialized. They trace the answer back to the Fed's reverse repo facility, which quietly injected trillions back into the financial system even as the official balance sheet was shrinking, and what the depletion of that buffer might mean for what comes next.Related:Robert's Power & Market Post, "Why the Crash Was Delayed": Mises.org/HAP547aBob's Article, “The Inverted Yield Curve and Recession”: Mises.org/HAP547bThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.
