On the 100th episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke and Dan Rothschild share a conversation surrounding Boettke's latest book, "The Struggle for a Better World."  In it, Boettke advocates for liberal cosmopolitanism, grounded in the belief that all people are dignified equals, and explains why such a world is worth struggling for.  As part of the conversation, Boettke and Rothschild discuss why liberalism today faces a thinking problem and not a marketing problem, along with what we can expect on the journey to becoming a self-governing society.

"The Struggle for a Better World" with Peter Boettke and Dan Rothschild

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.
