Podcasts about property rights

The hackneyed argument for government regulation of speech -- yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater -- has always been a red herring. As Murray Rothbard wrote, private property rights should be front-and-center when dealing with free speech issues.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/you-cant-yell-chicken-jockey-crowded-theater-except-when-you-can

How do we define liberty? Hayek saw it as the absence of most (but not all) coercion, but that depends upon how one defines “coercion.” Murray Rothbard believed that Hayek was too willing to accept forms of coercion that were anti-freedom.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/meaning-coercion-hayekian-philosophy

Bronwyn Holm speaks to Liz Gunn about her recent article on a specific pillar of Agenda 2030, which aims to take away all of our private property rights through local council bureaucratic overreach. Below is the full writeup by Bronwyn.The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 is a non-binding international agreement adopted by UN member states — including Australia — to guide disaster risk management globally. It focuses on reducing disaster risks (like bushfires, floods, pandemics, etc.) to protect lives, livelihoods, and property.What is the Sendai Framework?Adopted by the UN in March 2015 in Sendai, Japan.Aims to reduce disaster risk and loss of lives, homes, infrastructure, and the environment.Covers both natural hazards (like storms, droughts, fires) and human-made disasters (like industrial accidents or biological threats).It focuses on four key priorities:Understanding risk — using data, science, and communication to assess hazards.Strengthening governance — national and local policies, laws, and institutions.Investing in resilience — infrastructure, land use, emergency services.Improving preparedness — early warning systems, community plans, recovery frameworks.What Does It Mean for Your Home or Property Rights?Here's where it gets concerning — especially for property owners:Key implications:Local councils and governments may rezone or restrict your land (e.g. declare it flood/fire-prone) based on “disaster risk,” and claim it aligns with the Sendai Framework.Biosecurity or disaster powers might be extended using Sendai-aligned policies to justify actions like:Forced relocationCompulsory land acquisitionDestruction of property deemed “unsafe”Barriers to rebuilding after disaster unless you meet strict criteriaYou might lose autonomy over rebuilding or land use after a declared disaster or in a designated “risk zone.”MEANING you will lose your property.RENTING people means your owners have lost your property where you live.Important Note: The Sendai Framework itself is not law — but Australian governments use it to justify domestic policy changes, including:State disaster legislationEmergency management powersBiosecurity measuresHousing development limitsWhat Are Your Rights?You still own your home and land unless it is forcibly acquired under state or federal legislation.If affected by rezoning, forced acquisition, or development bans, you may have legal rights to:Challenge decisions in courtSeek compensationPush for community consultation (though this is often limited)You can object to planning changes through local councils (though not always successful). GYMPIE has passed theirs past recently- so every one needs to go to the council meetings and object.Joining private land trusts, Indigenous Corporations, or PMAs (Private Membership Associations) may help you reclaim autonomy in future structures.Earthfood: www.yourearthfood.comBan Dic Dan (Victoria Campaign): https://bandicdan.com

Daniella Bassi tells the remarkable story of the Arctic fur trade as a real-world case study in stateless order. In early 20th-century northern Canada, Inuit and European traders conducted peaceful, prosperous exchange, without government law or enforcement, guided instead by mutual respect, property rights, and natural law.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 26, 2025.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.

Jon Hartley and Richard Epstein discuss Richard's career as a legal scholar, the takings clause, state monopoly power, Richard's property-driven theory of constitutional interpretation (how it contrasts with the originalism of Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork as well as living constitution theories), the Coase theorem, and classical liberalism versus anarcho-capitalism. Recorded on July 16, 2025. ABOUT THE SERIES Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy.

Marc and former State Senator John Lamping analyze recent Missouri legislation signed by Governor Kehoe, focusing on the economic and political impacts. They discuss the contentious stadium funding bill benefiting the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, highlighting how the St. Louis Cardinals stand to gain hundreds of millions for stadium upgrades despite sitting out the negotiations. Lamping shares his candid view on the Chiefs and Royals potentially moving to Kansas and expresses indifference toward the Royals. They also cover Kehoe's surprising mix of consensus-driven politics—supporting both school choice and increased public school funding—and recent laws such as the K-12 cell phone ban and free in-state college tuition for first responders' kids. The conversation critiques government expansion masked as incentives, stresses the importance of property rights, and warns of looming fiscal constraints due to Medicaid funding changes. The segment closes with a nod to Ethan's contribution to the show's new intro music.

Focusing on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it carries out its responsibilities in arresting illegal immigrants involved in criminality. On the efforts of ICE within Virginia: “We are now through over 2,000 arrests as part of the Virginia Homeland Security Task Force. It's working, and most importantly, we're getting really tough bad guys off the street.” - Governor Glen Youngkin, Virginia In addition to the conversation on US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites authorized by President Trump and the reaction by Democrat leaders on the Hill, Tom Garrett also highlights the challenges we face within America as New York City's democrat voters elect a staunch socialist as its candidate for this November's mayoral election.

What happens when Western property theory meets Indigenous eco-wisdom? This Wolff Peace episode pairs John Locke with Vandana Shiva in a radical rethink of ownership, land, and peace. In this episode of the Wolff Peace series, host Avis Kalfsbeek contrasts the legacy of John Locke—whose ideas about liberty and property helped justify land enclosures and colonial expansion—with the work of Vandana Shiva, a scientist and activist who defends seeds, soil, and the commons. Through the lens of Robert Paul Wolff's Political Man and Social Man, we trace the roots of modern liberalism and its uneasy relationship with power and place. What might Locke and Shiva teach us about freedom, consent, and the responsibilities of being human?

Eric Claeys’ new publication, Natural Property Rights, presents a novel theory of property based on individual, pre-political rights. The book argues that a just system of property protects people's rights to use resources and also orders those rights consistent with natural law and the public welfare. Drawing on influential property theorists such as Grotius, Locke, Blackstone, and early American statesmen and judges, as well as recent work in normative and analytical philosophy, the book shows how natural rights guide political and legal reasoning about property law. It examines how natural rights justify the most familiar institutions in property, including public property, ownership, the system of estates and future interests, leases, servitudes, mortgages, police regulation, and eminent domain. Thought-provoking and comprehensive, the book challenges leading contemporary justifications for property and shows how property both secures individual freedom and serves the common good.Join this Talks with Authors program to discuss all this and more!Featuring:Prof. Eric Claeys, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityJ.

King emphasizes the need for vigilance against government overreach and the potential financial implications of the 45Q tax incentive.TakeawaysThe battle for property rights is ongoing and critical.The 'Big Beautiful Bill' poses significant threats to local regulations.The Kelo decision has opened doors for private companies to seize property.Grassroots activism is essential in fighting against government overreach.The 45Q tax incentive could lead to massive taxpayer costs.Legislative confusion can hinder effective communication and action.The role of federal preemption in property rights is concerning.Iowa's legislative efforts reflect a growing movement for property rights.The importance of transparency in the legislative process cannot be overstated.The fight for property rights is a fight for individual freedoms.Presented by Bid on Beef | CK6 Consulting | CK6 Source | Real Tuff Livestock Equipment | Redmond RealSalt | By-O-Reg+ | Dirt Road RadioSave on Redmond Real Salt with code RADKE at https://shop.redmondagriculture.com/Check out Amanda's agricultural children's books here: https://amandaradke.com/collections/amandas-books

I, Stewart Alsop, had a fascinating conversation on this episode of Crazy Wisdom with Mallory McGee, the founder of Chroma, who is doing some really interesting work at the intersection of AI and crypto. We dove deep into how these two powerful technologies might reshape the internet and our interactions with it, moving beyond the hype cycles to what's truly foundational.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 The Intersection of AI and Crypto01:28 Bitcoin's Origins and Austrian Economics04:35 AI's Centralization Problem and the New Gatekeepers09:58 Agent Interactions and Decentralized Databases for Trustless Transactions11:11 AI as a Prosthetic Mind and the Interpretability Challenge15:12 Deterministic Blockchains vs. Non-Deterministic AI Intents18:44 The Demise of Traditional Apps in an Agent-Driven World35:07 Property Rights, Agent Registries, and Blockchains as BackendsKey InsightsCrypto's Enduring Fundamentals: Mallory emphasized that while crypto prices are often noise, the underlying fundamentals point to a new, long-term cycle for the Internet itself. It's about decentralizing control, a core principle stemming from Bitcoin's original blend of economics and technology.AI's Centralization Dilemma: We discussed the concerning trend of AI development consolidating power within a few major players. This, as Mallory pointed out, ironically mirrors the very centralization crypto aims to dismantle, potentially shifting control from governments to a new set of tech monopolies.Agents are the Future of Interaction: Mallory envisions a future where most digital interactions aren't human-to-LLM, but agent-to-agent. These autonomous agents will require decentralized, trustless platforms like blockchains to transact, hold assets, and communicate confidentially.Bridging Non-Deterministic AI with Deterministic Blockchains: A fascinating challenge Mallory highlighted is translating the non-deterministic "intents" of AI (e.g., an agent's goal to "get me a good return on spare cash") into the deterministic transactions required by blockchains. This translation layer is crucial for agents to operate effectively on-chain.The Decline of Traditional Apps: Mallory made a bold claim that traditional apps and web interfaces are on their way out. As AI agents become capable of generating personalized interfaces on the fly, the need for standardized, pre-built apps will diminish, leading to a world where software is hyper-personalized and often ephemeral.Blockchains as Agent Backbones: We explored the intriguing idea that blockchains might be inherently better suited for AI agents than for direct human use. Their deterministic nature, ability to handle assets, and potential for trustless reputation systems make them ideal backends for an agent-centric internet.Trust and Reputation for Agents: In a world teeming with AI agents, establishing trust is paramount. Mallory suggested that on-chain mechanisms like reward and slashing systems can be used to build verifiable reputation scores for agents, helping us discern trustworthy actors from malicious ones without central oversight.The Battle for an Open AI Future: The age-old battle between open and closed source is playing out again in the AI sphere. While centralized players currently seem to dominate, Mallory sees hope in the open-source AI movement, which could provide a crucial alternative to a future controlled by a few large entities.Contact Information*   Twitter: @McGee_noodle*   Company: Chroma

How do we make sense of inflation, government overreach, or why housing costs keep climbing? It all comes back to basic economic principles—ideas too often ignored by those crafting the laws that shape our lives. So this week on This Week's Economy, I'm kicking off a new Econ 101 series to reconnect the fundamentals of economics with the everyday issues Americans face. These aren't abstract theories. They're tools for protecting prosperity.In today's episode, I explain what economics really means, why strong institutions and secure property rights are the foundation of growth, and how bad incentives and broken systems have left our economy in a fragile state.

They encourage economic investment and incent people to participate in the improvement of what they own. We must be clear and we must support this ideal.  Protecting individual freedoms are at the core of a prosperous society.  Stability and Harmony extend community engagement.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 312 published last April 10, 2013. Professor Richard Epstein, pioneering Libertarian legal scholar, joins Jason Hartman to explain how income inequality is good for society, but is very dependent on the methods used to produce the best outcome. The current methods our government are attempting to use are causing job losses, it blocks gains in trade, the need for further public assistance increases, which in turn increases taxes, “yet another implicit drain on voluntary transactions,” Richard illustrates. He provides examples to demonstrate the consequences of equality by egalitarian efforts of our government versus voluntary redistribution.  Listen for more details at:  www.JasonHartman.com.    Richard A. Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. He has authored several books, including Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration and the Rule of Law, The Case Against the Employee Free Choice Act, Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection of Property Rights, and many more. Richard has written numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects. He has taught courses in administrative law, antitrust law, civil procedure, communications, constitutional law, contracts, corporations, criminal law, employment discrimination law, environmental law, food and drug law, health law and policy, legal history, labor law, property, real estate development and finance, jurisprudence, labor law; land use planning, patents, individual, estate and corporate taxation, Roman Law; torts, and workers' compensation.   He also writes a legal column, the Libertarian, found at http://www.hoover.org/publications/defining-ideas/libertarian-archives, and is a contributor to Ricochet.com and the SCOTUS blog.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

On this episode, Jessica Carges chats with Karol Boudreaux on female land and resource rights in Sub-Saharan Africa and their impact on economic development. Karol discusses how even when property rights are granted, formal documentation and cultural backgrounds pose challenges to control over land use, and she shares the success story of Rwanda, how the state undertook a massive land documentation effort to improve formal property rights.Karol Boudreaux has a JD in International Law from the University of Virginia, and her work over the past two decades has focused on efforts to support improvements to land tenure and property rights for people around the world, particularly those in Sub-Saharan Africa. During her time at the Mercatus Center, she was the lead researcher for the Enterprise Africa project. She focuses on understanding links between property rights systems and development, as well as the evolution of property systems.If you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 459. In response to lots of froth on Twitter related to Jack Dorsey's call to "delete all IP law," which was echoed by Elon Musk (Musk and Dorsey: “delete all IP law”) I decided to attempt to host an impromptu Twitter Spaces about this. After overcoming some technical glitches, here is the result (and thanks to @Brunopbch, @NotGovernor (Patrick Smith), and @TrueAmPatriot86 for assists). I proposed to the space: "Fielding Questions About Abolishing Intellectual Property, about IP, and About Libertarian Property Rights", and that's basically what we ended up talking about. The Twitter spaces can be viewed here; I have clipped off the first 8 minutes or so of setup talk for this podcast episode. Grok summaries and shownotes and Youtube Transcript below. https://t.co/IHeVhPhlbs I'm going to do an impromptu Twitter space in an hour (2pm CST) to field any questions about the Libertarian Case Against Intellectual Property, in view of recent Twitter debates inspired by @jack Dorsey's and @elonmusk 's anti-IP comments,… — Stephan Kinsella (@NSKinsella) April 14, 2025 https://youtu.be/01FdFoB9QHY GROK HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY: Below is a concise summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY), divided into six parts, based on the provided transcript and informed by the linked post (https://c4sif.org/2025/04/musk-dorsey-delete-all-ip-law/). The video features Stephan Kinsella discussing the case for abolishing IP laws in a Twitter Spaces session. Summary in Six Parts 1. Introduction and Context (0:01–1:03) Kinsella opens the session, discussing technical setup and his recent online IP debates, sparked by figures like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, who advocate abolishing IP laws. 2. Addressing IP Objections (1:09–5:16) Kinsella invites questions and tackles a common concern: IP protects small creators from big corporations. He argues this is misguided, noting Musk and Dorsey's history of non-aggressive patent use (e.g., Tesla, Twitter), and challenges the assumption that creators deserve government-enforced rights. 3. Misconceptions and Debate Challenges (5:23–12:28) He debunks myths equating copying to theft or plagiarism, criticizing IP as anti-competitive. Kinsella laments Twitter's combative nature, where users avoid substantive dialogue, and shares his desire for recorded discussions to foster learning, citing past successes. 4. China and IP's Economic Impact (12:34–15:22) Responding to a question, Kinsella argues China's growth shows benefits of lax IP, as adopting Western technology isn't theft but learning. He critiques U.S. politicians for using “IP theft” to justify tariffs and impose Western IP laws globally. 5. IP vs. Property Rights and Innovation (15:48–38:02) Kinsella disputes claims that IP is a natural right, explaining ownership comes from first use or contract, not creation. Using Bitcoin as an example, he emphasizes secrecy over legal enforcement. He argues IP reduces innovation by granting monopolies, slowing progress for patent holders and competitors alike. 6. Corporate Power and IP's Decline (38:09–1:15:40) He asserts IP fuels corporate giants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, Microsoft), not small creators, inflating prices and harming consumers. Kinsella notes copyright's decline due to piracy and predicts technology (e.g., 3D printing) may render patents obsolete. He concludes that abolishing IP requires embracing uncertainty for justice, despite public fear of change. This summary condenses the video's key points into six sections, aligning with the principled and pragmatic arguments Kinsella makes, while reflecting Musk and Dorsey's anti-IP stance from the linked post. Let me know if you need further refinement! GROK DETAILED SUMMARY: Below is a summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY),

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 458. The meat of this talk is only about 15 minutes, if you skip the first couple minutes of setup and the Q&A at the end. As mentioned in Speaking at APEE IP Panel in Guatemala, today (April 6, 2025) I spoke on a panel at the APEE 49th Meeting in Guatemala. The theme of this year's meeting was “The Economic History of State and Market Institutions,” April 6-8, 2025, Guatemala City, Guatemala (program). My panel was Panel 50. [1.E.06] “Intellectual Property: Old Problems and New Developments,” Monday, April 7, 2025, 3:50 pm-5:05 pm, Breakout06. Organizer: Monica Rio Nevado de Zelaya, Universidad Francisco Marroquín; Chair: Ramón Parellada, Universidad Francisco Marroquín.

One gentleman was not happy with my remarks and my Adam Moore, a panelist on the previous panel, and I had pretty opposite views, but many others liked my perspective and expressed this to me. I thoroughly enjoyed attending the APEE meeting, if only for one full day. https://youtu.be/B4TrV44K9b4 My notes are below, as well as the Youtube transcript. Patent and Copyright versus Innovation, Competition, and Property Rights Stephan Kinsella APEE 49th Meeting “The Economic History of State and Market Institutions” April 6-8, 2025, Guatemala City, Guatemala Panel 50.

Based on my forthcoming book “Copy This Book: The Case for Abolishing Intellectual Property” and also “The Problem with Intellectual Property.” (( The latter will be in Handbook of the Philosophical Foundations of Business Ethics, 2nd ed., Christoph Lütge & Marianne Thejls Ziegler, eds. (Springer, forthcoming 2025; Robert McGee, section ed.), update of “The Case Against Intellectual Property,” in Handbook of the Philosophical Foundations of Business Ethics(Prof. Dr. Christoph Lütge, ed.; Springer, 2013) (chapter 68, in Part 18, “Property Rights: Material and Intellectual,” Robert McGee, section ed.). )) OK, let's see how much damage I can do in 15 minutes. I've been a patent attorney for over thirty years, and have prosecuted hundreds of high tech patents over that time. Intel, GE, UPS, Applied Optoelectronics, etc. Also about thirty years ago I concluded that all forms of intellectual property, or IP, ought to be abolished. I published many articles and even books on pure IP law—patents in the oil and gas industry, a trademark treatise—but at the same time wrote articles and books critical of IP law, including Against Intellectual Property.
