The AT Podcast continues with a mini-series “The Right Rethinks Economics" featuring guest author Prof. Alexander Salter. Prof. Salter has sought to bridge a gap in the the discourse between the camp that represents the received wisdom broadly supportive of economic liberty and the camp that considers doctrinaire defenses of economic liberty to be ill-suited, at least on their own, for the challenges of the present. Prof. Salter is the Georgie G. Snyder Associate Professor of Economics in the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University. His new book that we'll be discussing is titled The Political Economy of Distributism: Property, Liberty, and the Common Good, published by Catholic University of America Press. Prof. Salter took his PhD and MA in economics from George Mason University and earned a BA from Occidental.

We discuss: 1) Fascinating findings and research from his new book "The Spirit of 1776: Libertarianism and American Renewal," including how the current U.S. system of government has strayed from the Constitution and what we can learn from the founding fathers about compromise; 2) The true definition of the “common good” and why we can only achieve a free society through liberty and humanitarian virtues; and 3) Dr. Salter's opinion on the current economy, whether or not the U.S. is in a recession, and why he believes the dollar is seriously threatened.

https://youtu.be/fmh1JeGAVP0 Here's why: almost a hundred years ago, the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises explained that socialism, even if run by benevolent despots and populated with workers willing to work for the common good, could still not match capitalism's performance. Socialism requires abolishing private property in the means of production. But private property is necessary to have the free exchange of labor, capital, and goods that establish proper prices. Without proper prices, socialist planners could not know which consumer goods were needed or how best to produce them....Socialism also gives tremendous power to government officials and bureaucrats who are the system's planners—and with that power comes corruption, abuse, and tyranny. It is no accident that the worst democides of the twentieth century occurred in socialist countries like the Soviet Union, Communist China, and Nazi (National Socialist) Germany, where planners simply decided to eliminate populations they thought interfered with their plans. - Robert Lawson and Benjamin Powell, Socialism Sucks: Two Economists Drink Their Way Through the Unfree World Dr. Ben Powell is the Executive Director of the Free Market Institute at Texas Tech University and a Professor of Economics in the Rawls College of Business and a Senior Fellow with the Independent Institute.

One of the biggest reasons change initiatives fail is that we assume people are a blank slate when create our strategies and interventions for them. We just expect them to realize how brilliant our big ideas are and buy into them. But the reality is that almost everything we think, say and do is controlled by an existing set of narratives, about how the world works and our place in it. So, what we often fail to realize is that you can't change someone's beliefs or behaviors until you change their narratives. Nobody know this better than Dr. Hans Hansen from the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University. He "accidentally" joined a team that used narrative change to save dozens of lives, by transforming the way sentencing works for capital offences in Texas. Simply by changing the "norms" or narratives that guide the behaviour of different actors in the legal system, they reduced death penalty sentences by a whopping 90%. In this episode, Hans shares his story and the model they used, which can create narrative change for individuals, organizations or social systems. A big part of this work is finding ways to make the existing narratives we go by visible, so that we can deconstruct them - then develop new narratives to replace them. If you have an example of how you've used narratives to enact change, Hans would love to hear from you here.  And make sure you pick up a copy of his book, "Narrative Change: How Changing the Story Can Transform Society, Business, and Ourselves", to get the full story of the incredible journey he and the team went through as they worked to do the impossible in Texas.

In this episode I talk to Emily Anne About her career ending diagnosis as a Cellist, as well as how she managed to get through it and what she is doing today to overcome her situation and how she is  helping  others. Emily Anne's Bio: In 2013, Emily Ann Peterson was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological hand tremor, which forever altered her two-decade livelihood as a cellist, string-arranger, and cello teacher. Refusing to lose her life's love of musical expression, in an act of neurological defiance she accepted an award of a 6-week artist residency to write new music in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. "My grief broke through a creative glass ceiling I never knew existed." says Peterson. She returned from the mountains with an armful of songs, some of which fans can now find on her self-titled EP release from 2014. While touring the US, her interactions with new audiences prompted a question, "If they say I'm brave, then why does this still feel like fear?" Thus began her research which spanned over 2 years of interviewing everyday heroes in pursuit of the true meaning of bravery. These conversations led to Peterson's discovery of the 12 ingredients of bravery, which are reflected in the brazenly honest guidance of her bestselling self-help memoir, Bare Naked Bravery: How to Be Creatively Courageous. By practicing the concepts in her book, readers are able to fully "show up" in the world -- learning to cope with medical conditions, breakups, divorce, depression, and a multitude of other challenges.  Her long-awaited, debut full-length folk-pop album, Covered in Clover, released in July 2019. Emily Ann Peterson co-produced the album with Gary Mula, former owner of the Dutchman and Calleye studio -- an early rehearsal space for grunge legends Nirvana and Mudhoney. She called upon other members of her musical family in Seattle, WA -- including Eric Howk of Portugal. The Man (Atlantic), Andrew Vait of the band SISTERS (Tender Loving Empire), Jess Alldredge (Gospel Song/Tooth & Nail), Alina To of Passenger String Quartet, Coltan Foster and Scott Morning (Origin). Together they tracked 9 songs in a historic burlesque venue, The Columbia City Theater -- the perfect setting for a choir of horns, sweeping symphonic references, and melodies that only a former cellist could compose. Since recording Covered in Clover, Peterson relocated from the Pacific Northwest to Nashville, TN and has also found a home as a teaching artist and consultant. Fortune500 companies, executives, and tech startups seek out her expertise in creative courage, entrepreneurship, and growth strategy. Fans and audience members can find a place to belong online in The School of Bravery, a learning lab for life, career, and creativity. The school was founded by Peterson in 2018 and teaches students how to prepare, launch, and recover from their own seasons of bravery.  Emily Ann Peterson is a TEDx speaker and an alumnus of the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University. She currently holds or has held membership in the Northwest Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Rock Orchestra, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (The Grammys), and the Suzuki Association of the Americas. As a collaborative recording artist, performer, string-arranger, and songwriter she has had the honor of working with Sera Cahoone (Sub Pop), Anaïs Mitchell, Shelby Earl, Shannon Stephens (Asthmatic Kitty), The Portland Cello Project, Rosie Thomas (Sub Pop), David Bazan (Barsuk), Karin Stevens Dance, Barcelona (Universal), and many others.

When we offer advice to new faculty members on becoming integrated scholars, we talk about developing teaching skills including the publication of papers on advances in pedagogy. We also advise a research agenda that includes research and scholarly disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies in areas of seminal importance, along with publication of results in front-line journals. Finally, our advice includes involvement in meaningful service-oriented efforts and conscious attempts to integrate all the lessons noted to this point. If Professor Laverie had been a student of the above noted lessons, she would have a received a top grade for her results to date. She is an outstanding teacher who has been recognized by membership and leadership appointments (e.g., Chair, 2000-2002) in the Teaching Academy. Additionally, she is the recipient of the TTU Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching and President’s Excellence in Teaching Awards, along with the Academy of Marketing Science Outstanding Teaching Award. In 2010, she was also awarded one of only 15 statewide Piper Professorships (of the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation), which acknowledge superior teaching at the college level. Not to be just on the receiving end, Professor Laverie has given of herself to teaching excellence through her service as director of the university’s Teaching, Learning and Technology Center during the past five years. Her direction of undergraduate and graduate student research has led to the publication of many research papers in leading journals in her field of marketing. In 2010, Professor Laverie was appointed senior associate dean in the Rawls College of Business where she will be offering a new level of service to Texas Tech and the world of academic business administration. We know the model of her integrated scholarship will not be lost as she comes in contact with greater numbers of faculty members and students through her new administrative role.

One might say Jordan Wallace has an enterprising mind. Driven by his interests in numbers and in the intricacies of commerce, Wallace studied at the Rawls College of Business. Along the way, he helped his father with renovation projects and worked for several contractors, experiences that motivated Wallace to learn about sustainable building practices and extend his education into the area of architecture. Additionally, an internship with Lee Lewis Construction allowed Wallace to learn the ins and outs of building the new Rawls College and provided an opportunity for him to learn more about the business, in general. Despite his busy schedule, Wallace has dedicated time to helping several nonprofits, and in 2011 he formed his own organization to benefit the Children's Miracle Network and the neonatal clinic inside University Medical Center.
