Most people think that socialism will come to America suddenly through either a violent revolution or in some other dramatic fashion, but what if Americans simply voted for it one entitlement, one regulation, and one government guarantee at a time? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano takes the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) platform at its word and follows democratic socialism to its logical conclusion.

On Q&A Friday, Todd answers a foundational question: What are the five core beliefs of conservatism? He explains why individual liberty, limited government, free markets and private property, constitutional government and the rule of law, and traditional values and strong communities belong at the heart of conservative political thought. Todd contrasts those principles with socialism, communism, and the growing demand for government control, arguing that America's Founders understood both human nature and the danger of unchecked power. He also discusses the difference between a constitutional republic and pure democracy, why rights come from God rather than government, and why faith, family, churches, and local organizations are essential to a free society.

Dr. Wanjiru Njoya argues that private property is the indispensable cornerstone of liberty and civilization, and that anti-discrimination laws—however well-intentioned—are a form of aggression against property that nudges society along the continuum toward socialism. Drawing on Rothbard, Hoppe, and Mises, she defends property rights as absolute, carefully distinguishes political philosophy from personal morality, and warns that eroding property will, in Mises's words, cause civilization itself to perish.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.

Wanjiru Njoya applies praxeology to debates about race and discrimination. She starts with Mises on polylogism—the doctrine, shared by Marxists and Nazis alike, that logic itself varies by class or race—and his insistence that reason is common to all human beings. From there she turns to causation: drawing on Nozick, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell, she argues that research claiming discrimination causes economic inequality establishes correlation at best, and that unequal outcomes call for no special explanation in the first place.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 22, 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.
Alvin Roth won a Nobel Prize for designing workarounds to markets society finds morally repugnant. Sandy Klein argues the workarounds aren't needed. Taking Roth's objections in turn—that such markets are too thin, that participants won't reveal their preferences, that the offense others feel is a negative externality—she shows each dissolves under Austrian analysis: repugnance is simply a subjective preference, already priced into how people act, and not a market failure at all. She then applies the point to transplantable organs, where a 1984 ban on sales functions as a price ceiling of zero and the resulting shortage is counted in lives.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 22, 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.

Contrary to age-old prejudices, the wealth of the rich is not the cause of the poverty of the poor, but helps to alleviate that poverty. No matter whether it is their intention or not, almost anything that the rich can legally do tends to help the poor.
Tom Woods frames Ludwig von Mises's book around a single question—when the state may legitimately initiate force—and the classical liberal's insistence on a very high threshold for it.
Ludwig von Mises's preface to the English edition: what classical liberalism is, why its program rests on private property, and how “liberal” came to mean nearly its opposite in America.
Mises defines liberalism as a program for material welfare grounded in reason, ties it to capitalism, and examines the psychological roots of antiliberal resentment.
The first principles of liberal politics—private property, freedom, peace, and equality before the law—with a critique of the doctrine of force, fascism, and the proper limits of government.
Liberalism applied to world affairs: national self-determination, free trade and freedom of movement as the foundations of peace, and critiques of nationalism, imperialism, and colonialism.
Why liberalism differs from interest-based parties, the crisis of parliamentary government, and the misleading charge that liberalism is merely the “party of capital.”
Mises argues that modern civilization rests on liberalism and capitalism, and can be destroyed only from within—by the spread of antiliberal ideas, not by any outside enemy.
Mises's guided reading list of the essential works of liberal thought, from Hume, Smith, and Bentham onward, for readers who want to study the tradition in depth.
Mises defends his use of the word: true liberalism is defined by private ownership of the means of production, and he explains why he keeps the name despite its distorted modern usage.
The crucial difference between physical “capital goods” and “capital” as an accounting concept, and how profit and loss, private property, and economic calculation steer production toward what consumers actually want.
