Der Titel der heutigen Episode ist: Populismus und Ordoliberalismus. Das ist wieder eine sehr spannende Episode, denn die Frage, was Populismus eigentlich ausmacht, wie man ihn sinnvollerweise definiert und verortet, scheint in Zeiten, wo solche Begriffe doch verstärkt aktivistisch eingesetzt werden, höchst relevant. Ich führe dieses Gespräch mit Nils Hesse, der als freier Ordnungsökonomen arbeitet, derzeit zwar in den USA lebt, sich aber mit Artikeln, Beiträgen oder als Host des R21-Klimapodcasts »Der Preis ist heiß« in die deutsche wirtschafts- und klimapolitische Debatte einbringt. Wissenschaftlich setzt er sich ideengeschichtlich und institutionenökonomisch mit dem Verhältnis von Ordoliberalismus und Populismus auseinander und schreibe dazu am Walter-Eucken-Institut an einer Habilitationsschrift. Diese Arbeit ist das Thema unseres Gesprächs.  Wir beginnen das Gespräch mit der Frage, was eigentlich unter Populismus zu verstehen ist? Populistische Bewegungen unterscheiden zwischen Volk und Elite. Welche Ausprägungen des Populismus gibt es in Folge? Was ist der Zusammenhang zwischen Populismus und repräsentativer Demokratie? Welche politischen Folgen können von populistischen Gruppierungen abgeleitet werden? Wie ist Populismus zu bewerten? Ist »Populismus« als abwertende Marke, als politischer Kampfbegriff sinnvoll verwendet? Ist die Verwendung global einheitlich, oder unterscheidet sie sich im europäischen und US-amerikanischen Kontext? Wann und unter welchen Rahmenbedingungen wird der Populismus zum Problem? Welche Typen des Populismus gibt es? Was sind Trägergruppen des Populismus? Wie formen sich aus dem Populismus politisch (wirksame) Strömungen? Was bedeutet der Begriff der Elite? Wie ist diese definiert? Was bedeutet der Begriff »Nobilitas Naturalis« nach Röpke? Wie können die folgenden Gegenreaktionen auf Populismus beschrieben werden:  Isolationsstrategie   Strategie der Annäherung   Beschäftigung mit den strukturellen Mängeln und Problemen, die zum Populismus geführt haben Warum werden intellektuelle und »abstraktere« Berufe von Populisten häufig abschätzig betrachtet? Was sind die Folgen davon? »Wenn man die Leute als radikal bezeichnet, dann gehen Leute, die mit diesen Zuschreibungen Probleme haben, eher weg, und die Leute, die drinnen sind, erkennen sich dann eher als bestätigt [von den Eliten ausgegrenzt]. Das führt dann eher dazu, dass sie sich weiter radikalisieren.« Werden wir zum Nanny-State, weil politische Entscheidungsträger glauben, immer mehr Aspekte der Gesellschaft durch Zentralisierung vermeintlich verbessern zu können? Wie ist das Rousseausche Rätsel aufzulösen? »Wie können wir frei sein, obwohl wir unter Regeln leben müssen, denen wir selbst nicht zugestimmt haben?« Welche Rolle spielt Dezentralisierung, und mit welchen praktischen Problemen ist man konfrontiert? Warum sind Repräsentationslücken ein Problem? Gibt es einen Volkswillen, den die Politik »erkennen« kann? Oder gibt es in einer freiheitlichen Gesellschaft prinzipiell sehr unterschiedliche Ziele, die zu respektieren sind? Wie ist das in der Praxis umzusetzen? Was hat Elinor Ostrom zum Problem der Tragedy of the Commons beigetragen? Auf welcher Ebene kann man sinnvollerweise welchen Mehrwert schaffen? Warum können Regelwettbewerbe sehr nützlich sein? Kommen wir zum Ordoliberalismus. Um welche politisch-ökonomische Strömung handelt es sich dabei? Wer hat ihn begründet, und warum ist es heute relevant, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen? Geschichtlich greifen wir hier auf die Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zurück und dann auf die Verwerfungen, die sich durch die Weltkriege ergeben haben und das Deutschland der Nachkriegszeit substantiell definiert haben. Welche emanzipatorische Wirkung kann von der Marktwirtschaft ausgehen? Warum ist Machtkonzentration und die Vermischung von politischer und wirtschaftlicher Macht ein Problem, und wie kann dies vermieden werden? Welche Art der Wettbewerbsordnung entspringt diesen Überlegungen und Herausforderungen? Was ist die Basis einer freien und menschenwürdigen Gesellschaft? Führt all das zur sozialen Marktwirtschaft, einem nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sehr erfolgsbewährten Konzept? Was hat all das für Deutschland der Nachkriegszeit bedeutet, was waren die Gründe für das Wirtschaftswunder? Woher kam der Konflikt mit den angelsächsischen Libertären, und was ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten geschehen? Sind diese Ideen auf die Probleme der heutigen Zeit anwendbar? Was sind die Prinzipien dieser Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftsordnung, und warum war sie so erfolgreich? Können Märkte als anti-elitäre Maßnahmen verstanden werden? Was ist das Verhältnis zwischen Populismus und Marktwirtschaft? Wie ist die politische Orientierung der AfD, und wie ist deren Veränderung über die Zeit zu verstehen? Warum konnte sich der Ordoliberalismus international nicht durchsetzen? Erleben wir in den letzten Jahrzehnten, speziell in Mitteleuropa und Großbritannien, die Situation, dass die Probleme ständig zunehmen und die Regierungen glauben, diese mit immer stärkeren staatlichen Eingriffen zu lösen – wie es scheint, mit immer weniger Erfolg? Welche Rolle spielt die Europäische Union in dieser Gemengelage? Wie ist Javier Milei und dessen Politik – insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte Argentiniens – zu begreifen? Kann es uns in Deutschland, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Österreich gelingen, aus den schweren Verwerfungen und politisch herbeigeführten Krisen evolutionär herauszukommen, oder ist ein totaler Abstieg wie in Argentinien notwendig, bis wir die notwendigen Lehren ziehen? Anders ausgedrückt: Brauchen wir die Motorsäge, oder reicht der ordoliberale Unkrautstecher? Sind wir auf dem dauerhaften Weg in die Misere, oder werden manche/viele Dinge tatsächlich besser? Alles schlechtzureden ist ebenfalls kein funktionierendes Rezept für die Zukunft.

Lucas Engelhardt explores the economics of interventionism, tracing Ludwig von Mises's core argument that state interference in markets is both self-defeating and inherently unstable. Building on insights from Rothbard, Ikeda, and Higgs, Engelhardt examines why interventionism persists despite its failures, and whether we are, in fact, on the road to socialism or stuck in a stable middle ground.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 25, 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.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd replays his appearance on the Libertarian Christian Podcast. In this engaging discussion, Jacob and host Cody Cook delve into the concept of Biblical Anarchy, examining its roots, definitions, and implications for modern Christian thought and governance. The conversation traverses a wide range of topics, including the interpretation of Romans 12-13, the role of self-ownership in Christian doctrine, critiques of property and governance, and the historical contributions of figures like Murray Rothbard. By dissecting both biblical texts and philosophical arguments, Jacob seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of a decentralized, non-coercive system of governance grounded in Christian beliefs - and to demonstrate why Anarchy isn't what people think it is.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

"The word praxeology can be used in two different ways. One is for a science of human action, as developed by Ludwig von Mises and his successors, principally Murray Rothbard. And the other is for the deductive method used in the science of human action."Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 21, 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.

En 1972 Murray N. Rothbard publie « L'éducation gratuite et obligatoire ». Aux Etat-Unis le rôle de l'Etat dans l'éducation fait alors l'objet de débats animés : le homeschooling est en vogue parmi les hippies et cette génération de boomers est décidément sensible à toute forme d'autorité et de contrôle.Cinq décennies plus tard, la faillite de l'Etat dans cette fonction qu'il a monopolisée est sans appel. À défaut d'instruire la population, il l'a crétinisée, homogénéisée dans la médiocrité. L'Etat a exigé et obtenu de professeurs toujours plus désabusés qu'ils renoncent à leur réelle vocation : transmettre à chacun les savoirs fondamentaux pour apprendre et développer un esprit critique tout au long de sa vie. Au lieu de cela l'Etat leur impose de concentrer leurs efforts sur la mission première de l'Education d'Etat : endoctriner, égaliser, contrôler.   Mêlant histoire, économie et philosophie Rothbard nous mène à la racine du problème pour aboutir à ce constat. L'ouvrage d'une centaine de pages est clair, précis, remarquablement documenté. On comprend alors toute la futilité de poursuivre une solution à coup de réformes techniques. Puisque le problème, avant tout structurel, impose de se poser les bonnes questions : précisément celles que L'Etat ne veut pas et ne peut pas aborder. Après s'être intéressés aux origines de l'école obligatoire en Europe, en Chine et au Japon, ce 5ème volet se concentre sur les Etats-Unis.Les racines de la scolarisation obligatoire y sont indissociables du puritanisme de la colonie de la Baie du Massachusetts qui conçoit l'éducation comme l'outil idéal pour promouvoir l'obéissance à l'autorité et la conformité religieuse. La lecture est suivie d'un commentaire de Damien Theillier et d'un nouvel extrait de l'essai d'Olivier Ledoit, lequel analyse - statistiques à l'appui - le déclin ahurissant du niveau d'enseignement en France et démontre pourquoi les familles les plus modestes sont les premières à en faire les frais. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MUSIQUEJ.S.

In this classic 1963 essay, Murray Rothbard argues that the state is inherently hostile to peace because war enhances its power, prestige, and control. While individuals benefit from peace and voluntary exchange, governments thrive on conflict, using war as a tool to centralize authority and suppress liberty. Rothbard challenges the moral legitimacy of state warfare and calls for a truly libertarian stance—non-intervention and individualism.

The United States is dangerously close to entering yet another war in the Middle East. But this one has the potential to be a lot costlier for the American people while remaining just as unlikely to bring about peace and stability in the region.

In this welcome lecture to the 2025 Rothbard Graduate Seminar, Joseph Salerno dismantles the myth that Murray Rothbard was an outsider to mainstream economics.Drawing on Rothbard's deep academic training and early career, Salerno reveals how Rothbard was a thoroughly trained neoclassical economist before his conversion to Austrian economics. The talk highlights Rothbard's engagement with institutionalism, positivism, and Keynesianism, and how his discovery of Mises and praxeology transformed his outlook, ultimately forging one of the most original and radical economists of the 20th century.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on Sunday, June 8, 2025.

On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton dives into Murray Rothbard's theory of interventionism. Mark explores how Rothbard sharply delineates the line between voluntary action in the free market and coercive government intervention. He deconstructs Rothbard's typology—autistic, binary, and triangular interventions—and explains why only free markets improve utility for everyone, while intervention creates winners and losers. It's a wake-up call for anyone who still thinks regulation and taxation are harmless.Additional Resources"The Economics of Violent Intervention in the Market" by Murray N.

This is a cleaned-up version of what we thought was a really useful unedited conversation on the Biblical Anarchy Podcast.In it, Jacob Winograd sat down with Cody Cook to wrestle with some uncomfortable questions facing the liberty movement today. We talked about the rise of identity politics—not just on the left, but increasingly on the right—and whether libertarianism can offer a true alternative or if it's being co-opted by tribal instincts and reactionary impulses. Using Jeff Deist's controversial “blood and soil” quote as a starting point, we explore how freedom of association intersects with issues of nationalism, racism, and open borders.Can liberty thrive in a society fragmenting along cultural and tribal lines? Is decentralization enough, or do we need a shared moral foundation to preserve peace and voluntary cooperation? We reflect on Rothbard's Nations by Consent, the Christian nationalist temptation, and whether becoming a republic again is a prerequisite to building a voluntaryist future. It's a challenging but necessary conversation on where liberty and principle must stand in a world increasingly defined by group identity. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★
