Hur Nigel Farage och Brexit är spiken i kistan för EU, hur britterna ännu en gång räddar oss från ett europeiskt imperium, hur brittiska politiker och statstjänstemän försökt stoppa det - och kan Boris Johnson lyckas göra ingenting? Med Andy Duncan från Mises UK.
The Human Action Podcast reviews another overlooked classic by Mises: The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality.

On Show 27 of the Mises UK podcast, Andy Duncan speaks with Sean Gabb about his newly-published book: ‘Radical Coup: A Case for Reaction’. We concentrate on the main idea mapped out within it, which is Sean’s ‘frontal attack’ plan for taking English society and culture back away from a tax-eating statist Guardian-Reader elite, and all those other socialists who
Tonight, on show 18 of the MisesUK.Org podcast, regular host Andy Duncan spoke with Duncan Whitmore, who was the recent winner of our Mises UK Essay competition and who also spoke at our recent Mises UK conference. They spoke about economics, hard money, monetary inflation, the potential collapse of the EU, Brexit, the glorious Jacob Rees-Mogg MP, the abominable Theresa May PM, Hayek, Mises, the spread of Austrian School economics, localisation, secession, the Holy Roman Empire, the wonder of Switzerland, the British state’s National Health Service, and a few other measly extraneous matters.
Though ultimately about the future, this will also be a speech that dwells on the past. The first past event that I wish to discuss is what happened in June 2017. When I stood down as Director of the Libertarian Alliance, I was asked if I had taken leave of my senses. I was not visibly broken down by age and ill health. I had evidently not run out of things to say. Why, then, was I steeping aside in favour of a young man who was nearly forty years my junior?...
Duncan Whitmore on how economic decentralisation contributes towards economic prosperity.
Swithun Dobson examines the nature of the British economy in the face of its constant interference by the UK government and the Bank of England.
Jakub Jankowski speaks about the metapolitics of libertarianism and identitarianism in the UK and elsewhere.
The political philosophy of Niccolò Machiavelli does not appear to be a pressing problem. Yet, it is with a sense of urgency that I speak to you today. The reinterpretation, and actually, the misinterpretation of this sixteenth-century writer has reached such a level of absurdity in the academia and it starts to be so widespread in popular culture that it’s now influencing even conservative and libertarian circles...
George Pickering walks through the lessons he's learned from the Mises Institute, in Auburn, Alabama, and how we can apply them to help Mises UK thrive in the future, especially in comparison to organisations such as the Adam Smith Institute, and the Cato Institute.
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,
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, said of the Government’s planned ‘Extremism Disruption Orders’, that they will go “beyond terrorism” and “eliminate extremism in all its forms.” The Government has said that these Extremism Disruption Orders will be introduced to tackle “harmful activities” of “extremist individuals” who “spread hate” but do not “break laws.”...

We are, I believe, at a turning point in history. I see a glimmer, the tiniest wee glimmer, of the ‘End of Socialism’. So what is socialism? At its core, it’s a religion of theft. And its God is ‘The State’. So what’s ‘The State’? Well, the state is a murderous organised criminal gang, aided and abetted by its intellectual bodyguards who get their cut by masking this criminality...
On our epic fifth podcast, Andy Duncan speaks with Sean Gabb, a Vice-Chairman of Mises UK, about a variant of that famous question from Monty Python's 'Life of Brian', what did the Romans, or the Greeks, ever do for us, in terms of modern western civilisation? We be cover the major Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Epicurus, along with different Roman Emperors, including Nero, Caligula, and Constantine. Along the way, we explore the technological difference between us and the ancients, what we have to learn from the Byzantine Empire's resistance to the Moslem invasion from the East, plus the best and the worst of the Roman Empire's Emperors. As a special bonus, at the end of the program we also discover what the author Richard Blake might be doing in terms of his novel series on the Byzantine Empire.
