Since the 1960s California has always been a place associated with alternative beliefs, countercultural movements and alternative lifestyles. The hippy movement, with it's summer of love, fueled by the west coast psychedelic music scene will always be a highlight from the era, but the truth is, the state of California's links to alternative beliefs go back much further and manifested in much stranger ways than a bunch of long haired students having a good time. Labour movements, civil rights activism and the gold rush era can all be associated with California's ties to alternative living, as can its long history with cult groups who have thrived in the area throughout history. With the boom of New Thought, Eastern Spirituality and alternative religions, countless groups have emerged to furnish the world with their peculiar beliefs and practices. One group known as The Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven, however, trumps many with its utterly nonsensical story of animal sacrifice, ritual worship, mysterious disappearances and elusive publications.

This is the the ninth episode of the Conversation Series, Siniša Malešević, sociologist and a Chair of Sociology at University College Dublin, will talk on the topic of "Grounded Nationalisms: a Sociological Analysis." Globalisation is not the enemy of nationalism; instead, Professor Malešević shows, the two forces have developed together through modern history. Malešević challenges dominant views which see nationalism as a declining social force. He explains why the recent escalations of populist nationalism throughout the world do not represent a social anomaly but are, in fact, a historical norm. By focusing on ever-increasing organisational capacity, greater ideological penetration and networks of micro-solidarity, Malešević shows how and why nationalism has become deeply grounded in the everyday life of modern human beings. The author explores the social dynamics of these grounded nationalisms via an analysis of varied contexts, from Ireland to the Balkans. His findings show that increased ideological diffusion and the rising coercive capacities of states and other organisations have enabled nationalism to expand and establish itself as the dominant operative ideology of modernity. Malešević's main research interests include the study of war and organised violence, ethnicity, nation-states, and nationalism, empires, ideology, sociological theory and the comparative historical sociology. ---------------------------------------------- Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir .The project author and the host of the Conversation Series is Dr. Tornike Metreveli. ---------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies.

In the late 1960s, Jo Freeman published her "Bitch Manifesto." Since then, the debate on reclaiming bitch has moved far and wide. Who gets to reclaim this word and what is power we claim with reclaiming bitch. This episode delves in to the debate, inviting others to weigh in. Sources: Harris, F. C. (2016, March).

On episode four our host, John Papola, speaks with author, academic, and historian Deirdre McCloskey. McCloskey describes herself as “a literary, quantitative, postmodern, free-market, progressive-Episcopalian, Midwestern woman from Boston who was once a man.” Needless to say, this is a very interesting and wide-ranging conversation! Papola and McCloskey unpack economics and philosophy from Deirdre's unique, historical point of view — including what she's learned about economic planning. Deirdre also shares the story behind her two great transformations: From Marxism to Classical Liberalism; and from male to female.

This is the last Mises Weekends episode! But don't despair, Jeff will soon be back with a brand new format: The Human Action Podcast. The new show is not radically different, but focuses more exclusively on Austrian economics, its great books, and its great thinkers — with longer, more in-depth interviews. But don't take our word for it, tune in next week to the first show with David Gordon! Your RSS-fed platforms like Stitcher and SoundCloud will continue to support the new show, while Mises.org will still host both streaming and downloadable audio files. And your iTunes subscription will redirect you from Mises Weekends to The Human Action Podcast. This week Jeff takes a hard look at socialism and why it seems to gain greater support in the US and across the West. Do people really understand socialism as Mises did, and do they really want collective ownership of industry? Or do they just want what he termed "pseudo-socialist" economic systems that redistribute wealth? What motivates socialists? And how do they reconcile their moralizing self-regard with the doctrine that socialism is inevitable and inexorable? Mises's Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis. Jeff Deist on why support for socialism persists.

Today’s guest is Roger Ver, Co-Founder of FreeSociety.com and Owner of Bitcoin.com. Recently, at the Nexus Conference in Aspen, Colorado, Roger announced a new project called “Free Society”. Basically he and other founders and investors plan to purchase land from a sovereign state-owned country with the idea of building a “free society” based on libertarian principles. I knew that I had to get Roger back on Liberty Entrepreneurs to discuss this revolutionary idea. In the past, free societies have been attempted with several different models, none of which have been very successful. One of the most popular attempts isthe Seastead movement which aims to build floating cities on international waters, but this has unique and obvious engineering and logistic problems. Another is Liberland, a small piece of land on the Danube River between Croatia and Serbia. Basically, the “president” Vit Jedlička was able to locate the land and confirm that neither country had laid claim. As you can imagine, governments aren’t exactly friendly to new countries popping up within their borders, especially ones that claim to have an anarchist for president. Roger’s approach could signal a new way to go about building our own Galt’s Gulch. Since we still live in a state-controlled world, we must still get their permission and this is exactly what Free Society plans to do. As governments continue to go broke, because of their own terrible business models and as their debt-backed, fiat currencies lose value in the face of the rising demand of cryptocurrency, they will be forced to sell of their assets in an attempt to keep paying out and covering the favors they’ve promised. This means some of the land the government has stolen will be sold back into the private sector, but with an agreement and contracts attached. Roger and I start out by taking a look at his libertarian foundation and how he formed his guiding set or principles (ie NAP). Spoiler: He thought Mises’ book Socialism was a pro-Socialism book lololol. Other topics covered include: What is “Free Society” and how did you get the idea? How is it similar/different than Seasteading or Liberland? What are the important problems that need to be solved for this experiment to work and be successful? How do see this society progressing from literally nothing into a free market-based, wealthy society? Let’s compare how more opportunities are available now than ever because of cryptocurrencies vs relying on the State’s fiat money and/or precious metals as possible monies. How will things be “regulated” and how will licensing work? Walk us through an example of a digital nomad coming to Free Society to live and work. Visas/passports? Renting an apartment? Hope you enjoyed this one and please share it with your friends! See you on the first plane to Free Society!

The Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Media Studies Held a lecture From Political Violence to Exiting Violence in a Global Perspective with Michel Wieviorka Professor of Sociology, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales President, Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme Political violence can be instrumental but it can also be an answer to a crisis or a reaction to frustration. It is sometimes connected to cultural dimensions, including socialization in education and the family. Political violence also has a lot to do with subjectivity and processes of subjectivation and de-subjectivation. Exiting violence does not mean only putting an end to concrete expressions of violence, it means taking into account the sources of the phenomenon and its different dimensions, including eventually instrumentality, the crisis, socialization and subjectivity. Michel Wieviorka, Professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, is the President of the Board, Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme (FMSH). He was Director of the Center for Sociological Analysis and Intervention (CADIS, EHESS-CNRS) between 1993 and 2009. From 2006 to 2010, he was President of the International Association of Sociology AIS / ISA, and has been a member of the ERC (European Research Council) Scientific Council since 2014. He was co-Director with Georges Balandier of the journal Cahiers Internationaux de Sociologie from 1991 to 2011, and now heads the new SOCIO magazine (with Laetitia Atlani-Duault), which he created in 2013. His research has focused on the notion of conflict, terrorism and violence, racism, anti-Semitism, social movements, democracy and the phenomena of cultural difference. After having edited the serie "Voix et Regards" collection at Balland Publishing, he is now in charge of the serie "Le monde comme il va" at Editions Robert Laffont, and with Julien Ténédos for the serie "Interventions" at Editions de la MSH. His latest book is: "The Jews, the Muslims and the Republic", Editions Robert Laffont.
