Recently, the Mises Club of the Carolinas hosted their annual meet-up at Sugar Mountain, North Carolina. Dr. Paul Cwik of the University of Mount Olive delivered this address looking at the significance of the Austrian School of Economics. Dr. Cwik looked at the assumptions of the Austrian School including its emphasis on human action, individual liberty, and the role of prices in determining economic calculations. Most importantly, Dr. Cwik compared and contrasted the Austrian School with contemporary, mainstream economics and demonstrated how the Austrian School is more conducive for human flourishing, freedom, and material prosperity. Dr. Paul Cwik is a Fellow of the Mises Institute and the BB&T Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Mount Olive. He earned a BA from Hillsdale College, an MA from Tulane University, and a PhD from Auburn University, where he was a Mises Research Fellow.

Dr. Peter J. Boettke, Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University, discussed his book, "The Road to Socialism and Back: An Economic History of Poland, 1939–2019." About the Author Peter J. Boettke, Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute, is a Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University, the director of the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and BB&T Professor for the Study of Capitalism at the Mercatus Center. He received his Ph.D. from George Mason University. Prof. Boettke has developed a robust research program that expands an understanding of how individuals acting through the extended market order can promote freedom and prosperity for society, and how the institutional arrangements shape, reinforce, or inhibit the individual choices that lead to sustained economic development. His most recently published books include F. A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy; and The Four Pillars of Economic Understanding. Prof. Boettke is the editor of numerous academic journals, including the Review of Austrian Economics and the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, and of the book series, Cambridge Studies in Economics, Choice, and Society. He has served as President of the Southern Economic Association, the Mont Pelerin Society, the Association of Private Enterprise Education, and the Society for the Development of Austrian Economics. About the Book The Road to Socialism and Back: An Economic History of Poland, 1939–2019 For four decades during the latter half of the 20th century, Poland and its people were the subjects of a grand socio-economic experiment. Under the watchful eye of its Soviet masters, the Polish United Workers' Party transformed the mixed economy of this nation of 35 million into a centrally planned, socialist state (albeit one with an irrepressible black market). Then, in the closing decade of the 20th century, under the leadership of Polish minister of finance Leszek Balcerowicz, the nation was transformed back into a mixed economy. In this book, we document the results of this experiment. We show that there was a wide chasm between the lofty goals of socialist ideology and the realities of socialism as the Polish people experienced them. We also show that while the transition back from a socialist to a mixed economy was not without its own pain, it did unleash the extraordinary productive power of the Polish people, allowing their standard of living to rise at more than twice the rate of growth that prevailed during the socialist era. The experiences of the Poles, like those of so many behind the Iron Curtain, demonstrate the value of economic freedom, the immiserating consequences of its denial, and the often painful process of regaining lost freedoms.

Today's episode was recorded in October 2022 at the Market and Society conference. Our honored guest is a premier Austrian school economist Professor Peter Boettke. He is widely published and has been instrumental in promoting modern Austrian economics across campuses in the US and globally. He is currently a professor of economics and philosophy at George Mason University; the BB&T Professor for the Study of Capitalism, vice president for research, and director of the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center also at GMU. Professor Boettke is not only a very insightful academic, but he is also a prolific teacher, former successful basketball coach and a great writer. We highly recommend you pick up his book: Living Economics. We are very thankful for his time. In season 1 (Danish) we reviewed the history of economic thought before WWII. The coming seasons are dedicated to the Nobel Prize in Economics, and I am joined by economist Otto Brøns-Petersen. The Nobel prize is a good benchmark for how the field and profession of economics developed after WWII. We will focus both on the scientific contributions and on the people behind them. These are all star economists and worthy of your time and attention. Some will mainly feature in one episode, others in several. We therefore advice that you listen in the thematic order we propose – but it is up to you. Rest assured, we will cover all… Eventually. References: Boettke, P. J. (2012). Living economics.

Guest: Peter BoettkeHosted and produced by Erwin Dekker and Reinhard Schumacher In this episode Erwin and Reinhard talk with Peter Boettke about his new book on Hayek, F.A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy, published with Palgrave Macmillan. We discuss the various stages in Hayek’s work, Hayek’s relation to neoliberalism, Pete’s contra-Whig methodology for the history of economics (with a hat tip to Kenneth Boulding), Hayek’s relation to the Scottish Enlightenment, what it means to be an epistemic institutionalist, and the extent to which there was continuity between the early neoclassicals and the Austrian School. As well as many other subjects related to Hayek, and what a Hayekian research program looks like. Peter Boettke is Director of the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, as well as the BB&T Professor for the Study of Capitalism at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and a University Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University.

There is no shortage of phrases related to time – and for good reason! Nearly all biological processes have evolved to follow a day-night cycle every 24 hours. In our fifty-second episode, Max and Richie talk all things circadian rhythm, and discuss how this phenomenon can also impact day-to-day things like wellbeing, illness and even jet-lag. To supplement their discussion, Richie sits down with U of T Professor and circadian expert, Dr. Martin Ralph, who sheds light on how these cycles are intimately-linked to just about every complex disease you can name, and provides some much-needed advice to keep our internal clocks synchronized. Although the exact mechanisms of circadian control are still a topic of active research (not to mention the highlight of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Medicine), this is an episode to stay awake for… unless it's past your bedtime. Until next time, keep it raw!

Featured Guests: Stan Horton - Former Enron Executive; President & CEO, Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP Scott Keith - Regional President, North & Central Florida Region, BB&T Marshall Schminke - BB&T Professor of Business Ethics (Management) Robert Folger - Distinguished Alumni Endowed Professor in Business Ethics Merrell Bailey - Managing Partner, Your Caring Law Firm Episode Transcription:   Stan Horton:                      I was on the Enron executive committee when the company went bankrupt. I just witnessed firsthand how a company can implode just due to poor ethics. I saw good people do bad things. Paul Jarley:                         It's not just about good people doing bad things. Marshall Schminke:        But it's also interesting to figure out why bad people do bad things and good people do good things. Right? Paul Jarley:                         It focuses on what people do rather than what authorities say they should do. Rob Folger:                         The advent of behavioral ethics was the advent of doing research on what people do and why they do it rather than telling them what they should do. Paul Jarley:                         And it might empower people to step forward and question things. Even when it turns out their wrong. Merrell Bailey:                  How would you be able to train a teller to say it's okay to tell a client no and we will back you up and you won't lose your job and you won't lose your health insurance and your... Paul Jarley:                         Even if you're wrong? Merrell Bailey:                  Even if you're wrong. Paul Jarley:                         Right. Paul Jarley:                         Behavioral ethics holds the promise of helping companies do the right thing. But will firms provide faculty with the access necessary to help them solve their deepest problems? Or, will they just keep them locked up in the closet? Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is This Really a Thing?" Paul Jarley:                         On to our show. Paul Jarley:                         This podcast is a little different. It was done over drinks and hors d'oeuvres before the Colleges' Deans' Advisory Board Meeting in September. We brought together five people with a common interest in ethics, had a conversation, and edited it down to what you're about to hear. Our guests were: Paul Jarley:                         Merrell Bailey. Merle is a four-time alumnus of the College. She's on our Deans' Advisory Board and has degrees in Accounting and Law. Two fields with extensive codes of ethics. Paul Jarley:                         Scott Keith is Regional President for BB&T in North and Central Florida. BB&T sponsors both an ethics class in the College as well as the faculty member who teaches that course, Marshall Schminke. Marshall is the BB&T Professor of Business Ethics. He joined us for the evening via Skype because he was speaking at a conference in East France. Paul Jarley:                         They're joined by Rob Folger. Rob is considered the Father of Behavioral Ethics. He sits in an endowed position that was funded by our last guest. Paul Jarley:                         Stan Horton. We caught up with Stan a couple of weeks after the event and added his insights into the conversation. Stan is an alum of the College and the President and CEO of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners. Stan was the only member of Enron's top management team that was not indicted in the Enron scandal. He closed Enron. It is not a stretch to say that the biggest corporate ethical breach of the last century started a chain of events that led to a whole new way to study ...
