Dr. Patrick Newman joins Jeff Deist to discuss Rothbard’s groundbreaking conceptual work in private defense, private courts, and the stark realities of political incentives.
Jeff Deist calls in to talk about deflation, Jeff Booth’s book The Price of Tomorrow, the role of the federal reserve in creating consumerism, liberalism as opposed to Marxism, and more.
Jeff Booth says that fast-improving technology causes prices to fall, and that we would have a more prosperous world if government would step aside and embrace deflation rather than fight it.
Hunter Hastings, Clay Routledge, and John Bitzan review some deep research support for the linkage between entrepreneurship, free market capitalism, and meaning in life.
Dr. Gabriela Gomes joins the show to discuss how herd immunity thresholds are estimated, and why she thinks classic models are flawed and must incorporate a measure of variation in individual susceptibility.
