On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we visit the archives for a discussion on studying in Austrian economics between Peter Boettke & Mario Rizzo, Associate Professor of Economics at New York University and Director of the Foundations of the Market Economy Program.  In it, Rizzo recounts his time spent in Austrian economics, both in learning about the field and in trying to establish programs of study in it, followed by a general discussion on Austrian economics, specifically the economics of time and ignorance.

Peter Boettke & Mario Rizzo on Studying in Austrian Economics

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.
