On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a series on topics in economic sociology hosted by Peter Boettke. He is joined in this episode by Stefanie Haeffele as they cover issues of community revival in the wake of disasters.  As part of the conversation, Stefanie shares her story of growing into an academic career in economics and reflects on how her experience in the Presidential Management Fellowship shaped her insights on government bureaucracy. Later in the podcast, the pair discuss the importance of building trust within local communities during disaster research, and how to work in such contexts as social scientists with a sense of humanity and care.

Exploring Economic Sociology — Peter Boettke & Stefanie Haeffele

The Hayek Program Podcast includes audio from lectures, interviews, and discussions of scholars and visitors from the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. The F. A. Hayek Program is devoted to the promotion of teaching and research on the institutional arrangements that are suitable for the support of free and prosperous societies. Implicit in this statement is the presumption that those arrangements are to some extent open to conscious selection, as well as the appreciation that the type of arrangements that are selected within a society can influence significantly the economic, political, and moral character of that society.
The Hayek Program Podcast is partially funded by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation on "Work, Self-governance, and the Challenge of Unsustainable Dependency." The Grant is for a three-year project to explore the themes of work and self-governance as well as the root causes and consequences of the modern shift toward a greater reliance on government efforts to solve collective challenges.
