Sinopse

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.

  • Private Governance Book Panel

    26/02/2019 Duração: 56min

    Are all of the rules and regulations governing economic activity a product of central planning or legislation? To what extent does privately produced and enforced governance play a role? On this throwback episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Edward Stringham argues in a panel discussion of his book "Private Governance" that much of what is orderly in the economy can actually be attributed to governing mechanisms devised and enforced by private groups and individuals.

  • Peter Boettke and Rosolino Candela on Hayekian Ideas

    22/01/2019 Duração: 01h04min

    Widely considered as one the most influential economists of the 20th century, F. A. Hayek continues to command the attention of scholars with his life and work. On this episode, Peter Boettke and Rosolino Candela sit down to discuss Boettke's new book F. A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy (Palgrave, 2018). Boettke presents this new book as focusing less on Hayek as an individual and more on Hayekian ideas. Throughout the discussion Boettke and Candela examine Hayek's uniting theme of epistemic institutionalism, the competitive market process, and how Hayek's contemporaries picked up on his work. They also discuss the limitations of 'Big Data' to answer the important questions of social science. These Hayekian ideas, Boettke and Candela contend, are still as pressing and worthy of research today. CC Music: Twisterium

  • "Political Capitalism" Book Panel

    18/12/2018 Duração: 01h08min

    Cronyism and government intervention are hardly unique features of any particular system, and many people simply view them as unfortunate bugs in the larger economy. But what happens when those features become symptomatic of a deeper problem, one reflecting not just flaws in a mixed economy but a totally distinct form of political economy itself? Randall Holcombe of Florida State University tackles this issue in the latest episode of the Hayek Program podcast with a book panel on his new book, "Political Capitalism: How Economic and Political Power is Made and Maintained." Drawing on well-established theories in economics and social sciences, Holcombe delivers a compelling case explaining the presence of political capitalism and the effect it has on our society. He is joined on the panel by Joshua C. Hall of West Virginia University, Mercatus Center Senior Research Fellow Matt Mitchell, and the Hayek Program's Associate Director Chris Coyne, each of whom offer their thoughts on Holcombe's work.

    Echoing the narrative style of Director Quentin Tarantino, Professor Lawrence H. White delivers an overview of the economic intellectual debates of the 20th century in his book 'Clash of Economic Ideas.' These debates are framed through the lenses of individuals such as Irving Fisher, Rexford Tugwell, Wilhelm Röpke, Ludwig Erhard, George Stigler, Ronald Coase, John Maynard Keynes, F. A. Hayek, and others. What results is a non-linear and captivating historical narrative that offers a refreshing perspective from the roaring twenties and the Great Depression to the Great Inflation and fiscal policy issues of today.

  • "Markets in Education" with David Schmidtz

    02/05/2018 Duração: 47min

    Charter schools—which are still publicly funded and required to meet basic performance standards for public schools—are a marginal shift toward incorporating the mutually adjusting forces of supply and demand into the public education system. For instance, charter schools have more autonomy in deciding how to budget and meet the performance standards, in shaping their own curricula, and in hiring and firing staff. At our recent Buchanan Speaker Series event, Professor David Schmidtz spoke on whether charter schools make a detectable difference in the realm of education. Listen to Prof. Schmidtz’s remarks on this new episode of the Hayek Program Podcast. CC Music: Twisterium
