In this episode we’re joined by Rahim Taghizadegan the last Austrian economist of the Austrian school. He has written more than a dozen books and is the founder of the private university scholarium in Vienna, where the Austrian School is kept alive.

In our conversation, among other things, we discuss the history of Austrian economics, we cover why Keynesian economics is a scam, and of course, the role of Bitcoin in enabling a future based on real trust.
