The Fiat Standard with Dr. Saifedean Ammous |
(Y) |
Saifedean Ammous, famous for The Bitcoin Standard, has a remarkable new book detailing the effects of fiat money on virtually every aspect of society. In the tradition of Guido Hülsmann's The Ethics of Money Production, Ammous returns with The Fiat Standard. From a framework of Austrian economics, this book explains the sordid history of central banks severing currencies from gold redemption—both to finance war and enjoy the political benefits of default. But it also considers the far-ranging effects of inflation on civilization: as time preference increases, everything gets worse. Education, food, architecture, family, and science all suffer, as inflation makes us live today at the expense of tomorrow.
On the 50th anniversary of Nixon's gold shock, The Fiat Standard is an amazing explication of how the West fell to its current state. You don't want to miss this show, especially Saifedean's epic takedown of fiat academia at the end!

Joe Matarese Defines a Whole New Level of Customer Value to Build a High Growth Service Firm |
(Y) | | |
Firms that can unlock the deep secrets of subjective value can unleash powerful, long-lasting value streams. When these flow in a confluence with well-identified market drivers, revenue and profit growth can be greatly accelerated.
Joe Matarese tells Economics For Business how he conjoined these two forces for his medical staffing service firm, creating a dynamic market leader from a three-person startup.

Rothbard on Left, Right, and the Prospects for Liberty |
(Y) | | |
Murray Rothbard's seminal 1965 essay "Left and Right: The Prospects for Liberty" reads every bit as well today as it did 50 years ago. Rothbard defines liberalism and conservatism against the backdrop of the European Old Order, and skewers the incoherence of both in their modern forms. This brief work, steeped in history and full of optimism, shows Rothbard as a careful and strategic thinker about ideological and political movements. Mises.org editors Tho Bishop and Ryan McMaken join the show to explain the tremendous descriptive power of this essay, and why we need Rothbard as much as Burnham, Machiavelli, or Sun Tzu when it comes to strategy.

Steven Phelan on Innovation In Contracting |
(Y) | | |
Entrepreneurs seek to provide markets with new value through innovation wherever they can identify an opportunity. Their vision is broad enough to include free market institutions such as contracting, where they identify new and better ways to expand the mutuality of value and better relationship models than those in the traditional legal approach.

John Tamny on When Politicians Panicked |
(Y) | | |
Financial journalist John Tamny (https://JohnTamny.com) has written the definitive book on the disastrous political mismanagement of Covid-19—and the resulting (still unfolding) calamities. *When Politicians Panicked* (https://Mises.org/Panicked) is a superb analysis of the economic tradeoffs ignored by alarmist Covid policymakers, and a blow by blow account of their bungling in the early months of 2020. But this is also a book about economic growth, employment, markets and prosperity, with well-supported arguments written in Tamny's clear prose. Tamny helps readers See the Unseen, namely that terrible consequences of lockdowns far exceed any danger posed by the virus.

Can States Nullify Federal Gun Laws? |
(Y) | | |
In June 2021, Missouri passed a new law stating it would not assist in the enforcement of federal gun laws. Tho and Ryan discuss how states can use strategies like this to resist federal laws within the states. Marijuana legalization and opposition to the Fugitive Slave Acts provide compelling historical examples.

Irene Ng: Designing New Consumer Experiences in the Era of IoT |
(Y) | | |
Value-as-experience is an insight from Austrian economics. Value is not inherent in objects or even in services. Value is not derived from functional use, but is the good feeling the consumer experiences during consumption. Consistent with the Austrian understanding of the market as a process, value is a process. It plays out in time in the consumer’s mind. Consumers learn what is valuable to them in the process of choosing and consuming and evaluating.
These insights add some under-appreciated marketing considerations to a firm’s capabilities, such as an appreciation of situational traits and of the importance of context. Irene Ng provides the E4B podcast audience with a set of contemporary tools to design new experiences and even create new markets in the era of the "Internet of Things" (IoT).

Sergio Alberich on Capital Structure and Capital Flexibility |
(Y) | | |
The proper selection of a firm’s financial source does not guarantee its success, but the wrong one assures its failure.
Austrian capital theory delivers actionable insights for business. Austrian theory emphasizes capital’s economic role in generating customer revenue flows. Since these flows are variable, entrepreneurial capital must exhibit a capacity for agile and flexible combination and re-combination to keep revenue flows refreshed and current, Since capital structure plays an important role in entrepreneurial judgment, decisions, and action, it must support fast, flexible and unconstrained decision making. Businesses can benefit from their understanding of capital through this Austrian lens. Sergio Alberich helps the Economics For Business podcast listeners, and business practitioners in all kinds of businesses at all stages for their development, to "Think Austrian" in matters of capital structure.

Andrew Frazier on Running Your Business |
(Y) | | |
There’s a middle class of businesses that are the backbone of the economy. Professor Saras Sarasvathy coined that term, and we’re pleased to adopt it.
These businesses sit between the big corporations of the major stock indexes and the VC-funded gazelles and unicorns of Silicon Valley and Silicon Hills. The watchwords for these backbone businesses are duration and durability. They last and prosper because they are well-run, following the entrepreneurial method.
Entrepreneurship is usually portrayed from the perspective of ends: identifying unmet customer needs, creating new and innovative solutions, taking them to market, making a success.
That’s all true. However, there is another perspective that comes from actually running a business, ensuring that operations are smooth and efficient, monitoring daily cash flows and monthly P&Ls, and managing people’s performance.
Often, running a business requires an intensified focus on means. Cash flow, operations, employee performance — these are means, and running a business is a science of managing means. Business advisor Andrew Frazier helped us focus on means in this week’s Economics For Business podcast.

Mises.org editor Ryan McMaken joins the show to tackle some of the toughest and most controversial chapters of Rothbard's groundbreaking treatise The Ethics of Liberty.
McMaken and Jeff Deist cover abortion, the rights of children, defamation, and all the "what ifs" contained in lifeboat situations. They also move into Part III of the book, where Rothbard pulls no punches concerning the nature of the state, its internal contradictions, its anarchic relationship to other states, and its inescapable role as predator and parasite. This is a can't-miss episode for anyone who questions the role of government in society.

Mark Schaefer on Cumulative Advantage |
(Y) | | |
Economists recognize the phenomenon of increasing returns. Knowledge markets such as those for software, operating systems and platforms, tend to tilt in favor of a product or service or brand that gets ahead, even to the point of lock-in. There is a growing body of theory — often under the heading of complexity theory, and supported by computational simulation — underpinning the concept of increasing returns.
Mark Schaefer is expert at bringing economic theories of this kind into vibrant contemporary life. He coined the term Cumulative Advantage, and wants all entrepreneurs to know how to harness it.
First of all, it’s not new. It’s in the Bible: For whoever has will be given more. Sociologist Robert K. Merton therefore called it The Matthew Effect.
How can entrepreneurs and their firms take advantage of increasing returns to achieve cumulative advantage? Consistent with the processual approach to value of Austrian economics, Mark has a five-step process.

Find links and articles mentioned in this episode at https://mises.org/HAPod70
Lawyer and legal theorist Stephan Kinsella joins the show as we dive into Part II of Rothbard's The Ethics of Liberty, grappling with the foundational issues of crime, proportionality, and contract. When is property justly held? When may injuries to a person or property be addressed with force, and how much force? How do we deal with one another contractually, in terms of promises and expectation? How do we resolve disputes privately? Rothbard presents a remarkable exposition of a theory of liberty, a normative justification for laissez-faire which was sorely lacking. Kinsella does a remarkable job of explaining Rothbard's concepts with force and clarity, so you won't want to miss this episode!

Peter Klein on Cronyism, Capitalism and the Entrepreneurial Pathway |
(Y) | | |
We often hear that capitalism is under fire: in contemporary politics, in journalism, in popular discourse, and even in some business schools and among some management scholars and their students. But the criticism, upon examination, is not about capitalism but cronyism. The two are entirely separate systems, and the corruption and corporate political activities of cronyism are not exhibited in capitalism, and will never appear if we can adhere to capitalism’s purest form, entrepreneurship.

Walter Block on The Ethics of Liberty |
(Y) | | |
Murray Rothbard's The Ethics of Liberty is a sweeping treatise which creates nothing short of a normative political philosophy of liberty. Contra Hume, Rothbard attempts to derive an "ought" from an "is," using natural law precepts and rigorous logic. Professor Walter Block joins the show to discuss the first section of the book, and gives us his unstinting (and always deontological!) take on Rothbard's vitally important treatment of natural law philosophy as the foundation for a free society.

What Is Progressivism? |
(Y) | | |
Economics is what is called a “value-free science,” meaning that it answers questions without any consideration for politics or ideology. A good economist can explain the benefits of free markets, or the consequences of socialism, not because of any political bias, but because of how human beings respond to a world with scarce resources.
Often, however, when we discuss economics, we do so within the context of politics—such as during an election period, or how a tax increase may impact the local economy.
Some call themselves “progressives”—implying that their political and economic views are “modern” or “forward looking.” Throughout American history, “progressives” have claimed to promote an economic system that is a “third way” between capitalism and socialism. They advocate an economy “regulated by experts,” rather than by politicians or free markets.
There is, however, nothing “progressive” about this.
This system of government has the same problem as “cronyism,” the mistaken belief that government can do better than the market system.
Markets work by coordinating the supply and demand of resources and products all around the world. Because of prices, entrepreneurs, businessmen, and consumers are able to calculate the best way to achieve their desired ends.
Progressives do not trust individuals to make these decisions on their own. Instead, they want markets and prices regulated by so-called experts, whose influence comes from universities or politics, not from producers creating goods or services that people want and can use.
A basic mistake the progressives make is the belief that enough specialized education can empower individuals with better knowledge than the market can give. In this way they justify increasing political and legislative power to grab more control over our society. This is dangerous.
Economically, whether or not this government intervention is the product of simple political corruption, or sold as “regulation by experts” is irrelevant. The result is the same—the market system is manipulated by the coercive power of government for political ends, not for the benefit of actual consumers. This doesn’t provide a “third way” between capitalism and socialism, it undermines capitalism in order to justify more state power. As with cronyism, the people who benefit from this third way are not the entrepreneurs and producers who make useful contributions, but the political "experts," the non-producers, who end up in control.
Third-way government intervention benefits big corporations through tax breaks, product legislation, enforcement of industry standardization, lobbying, etc., making it much harder for small firms to compete. Thus, big national and multinational firms win both in the marketplace and in the legislative halls because of the unfair advantages bestowed on them by the government.
The progressives’ “expert class” creates new problems through the rise of a managerial class of bureaucrat that can impose great influence over the economy, without being held accountable by either the market or the ballot box. In America today, after a century of the progressive government agenda, we now have a revolving door between regulatory agencies and powerful companies—no matter what the results of an election are.
Without any accountability, the result has been major policy disasters that have brought financial crises, exploding costs in healthcare and student loans, or economic lockdowns in the name of “public health.”
These are not the products of a free market, but the direct consequence of years of failed interventionist policies.
There is no “third way” in economics, either consumers are allowed to direct their economy—or the government is in charge.
Economics is not a science that empowers certain experts to better manage society. Instead, it teaches us the limits of what government can do to bring about prosperity in the world.
Progressivism is not the answer. The more we learn to “think like an economist,” the more we understand the value of a truly free society.
Questions
Do you believe economics explains why most promises made in politics never happen?
Do you think the government would operate better if more politicians understood economics?
Which style of government do you think is more likely to grow: a government that is motivated by greed—like cronyism—or a government motivated by social justice—like progressivism?

Rothbard on the Betrayal of the American Right |
(Y) | | |
America's "Old Right"—rooted in 19th century liberalism but birthed in the 1930s to oppose the New Deal—was strongly laissez-faire and non-interventionist. Murray Rothbard wrote the comprehensive story of that movement, it's influences and influence, and its destruction at the hands of Buckleyite Cold Warriorism. Modern conservatism sadly bears little resemblance to the Old Right, and America is worse off for it.
Dr. Patrick Newman and Tho Bishop join the show to dissect the book, which is both a critical history and a fascinating political memoir of Rothbard's own journey to libertarianism.

Alan Payne on a Fascinating History of Competing Business Models |
(Y) | | |
We can gain useful insights by winding business models back in time to see how they emerged and evolved. In the case of competing business models, we can analyze the different outcomes and perhaps assign some cause and effect analysis to interpret why one model variant performed better than another. How do we do that? Through the technique of entrepreneurial business history.
Alan Payne conducts just such a historical business model re-enactment in his excellent book, 'Built To Fail: The Inside Story of Blockbuster's Inevitable Bust'. It’s the dynamic story of two competing business models in one industry, a comparison of outcomes, and the resulting emergence of a new, third model.

Bob Murphy on Rothbard's What Has Government Done to Our Money? |
(Y) | | |
Rothbard called Mises's The Theory of Money and Credit, "the best book on money ever written." But Rothbard himself may have written the best money book for lay readers, namely What Has Government Done to Our Money?
Bob Murphy joins the show to discuss this superb and eminently readable tract: a mini-course on money itself, from its origins and uses to its degradation by kings, politicians, and central bankers. In only 119 short pages, Rothbard gives us everything we need to know about this most critical commodity in society—along with the ruinous development of fully fiat (unbacked) state money. Readers also enjoy a brilliant history of money regimes, from early barter to the classical gold standard and the ultimate collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement.

Ross Benes on America's Rural Rebellion |
(Y) | | |
Politics degrades our lives in innumerable ways, from personal relationships to work to places of worship. Even sports and movies now seem to have become deeply politicized. The political class and political system in America appear intent on creating division and hatred rather than cooperation. The two political tribes in America—red and blue—are divided on everything: abortion, guns, immigration, Trump, and now Covid. Is there any way to reclaim some semblance of a truce between these warring nations?
Our guest Ross Benes has written an engrossing memoir of his experiences in both worlds, from small town life in his ultra-red Nebraska hometown to his writing career in ultra-blue Brooklyn. It's a fascinating look at how and why we have allowed politicians to alienate us, and a hopeful call for a less political America.

Rothbard's Anatomy of the State |
(Y) | | |
Ryan McMaken joins the show for a lengthy discussion of Rothbard's brief but devastating essay Anatomy of the State. This book demands that readers understand the stark nature of government, without fairy tales or niceties. It applies the same lens to public and private criminality. It challenges every myth surrounding politics and statecraft, ranging from "the government is us" to judicial review. It explains how the state maintains legitimacy, how it expands, how it deals with other states, and ultimately how it works to prevent domestic threats to its power. And it still serves as the baseline analysis for understanding state power, nearly 50 years after Rothbard helped create a burgeoning anarcho-capitalist movement. Anatomy of the State is a book that everyone, from anarchist to statist, needs to read and consider.

Peter Klein: When Policy-Makers Discover Benefits of Entrepreneurship, They Can’t Resist Intervenin |
(Y) | | |
Innovative entrepreneurship is the segment of the entrepreneurial economy that is especially highly focused on innovation via new products and services. Within innovative entrepreneurship there is an even brighter spotlight on NTBF — new technology-based firms that are cutting edge, scalable, and fast-growing. They represent only one form of entrepreneurship, but one that is very interesting. Indeed, they attract the interest of government and government policy-makers. A recent special issue of the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, a top journal for which our friend Peter Klein sits on the editorial board, examined the impact of policy on entrepreneurship itself and on the institutional and social challenges of these policy interventions.

Shawn Needham: How Consumers and Entrepreneurs Co-Navigate Value Uncertainty in Healthcare |
(Y) | | |
Austrian economics provides new insights into value: what it is, how it is created, and who creates it. The insights are summed up by Professors Per Bylund and Mark Packard in our E4B podcast episode #108 (see Mises.org/E4B_108). One of the most vivid images they paint is the picture of entrepreneurship as “the two-sided navigation of radical value uncertainty, both by producers and consumers, in that never-ending quest towards higher value states”.
The market for healthcare provides us with a pertinent example of co-navigation of radical value uncertainty. For consumers, there is no certainty available — they can’t know which doctors or providers will give them the best experience, they don’t know the right means to choose to attain their end (health), and they can’t use the usual market price signals in the search for value since the price of healthcare is not visible to them. The don’t purchase the product, they purchase insurance, a different financial product than the healthcare experience they really need.
Thus, the healthcare market is a natural medium for the co-navigation of value uncertainty that Professors Bylund and Packard described. In E4B podcast episode #111, Shawn Needham, a healthcare entrepreneur dedicated to helping the consumer in their navigation task, lays out 6 principles for entrepreneurs.

Daniel McCarthy on the Prospects for Fusionism |

Daniel McCarthy joins the show to continue last week's discussion of the rapid breakdown of America's political order, with wokeism rising on the Left and Reaganism dying on the Right. McCarthy gives us his critique of the liberal technocratic order, and makes his case for where libertarians go wrong in their utilitarian and acultural approach. His prescription is for a new Right fusionism, with a reinvigorated Rothbardian populism as one critical element. The legacy of Ron Paul's presidential campaigns, McCarthy explains, is the philosophical critique of welfarism and warfarism. But changing society is a long game—one the Left plays well—so we must do the same.

What Is Socialism? |
(Y) | | |
Economics is the study of human action. Using economics, we can understand how social orders can create different results based on how they allocate resources.
In a market economy, production is guided by enterprises seeking profit and innovation. In a crony economy, the government influences market outcomes by interference and intervention. A third economic system rejects markets entirely in favor of central planning.
This is socialism.
In this system, central planners set the stage and drive the economy while individuals serve less innovative roles in society in exchange for goods, services, and security. While a market economy rewards those who best serve customers, the promise of a socialist economy is that everyone's needs are taken care of equally.
This is a command economy, where central planners decide what is produced, in what quantity, and who should produce it. Instead of people being allowed to choose what goods and services they prefer to spend their money on, they are provided only with what goods and services the central planners have chosen for them.
Since some individuals prefer thinking for themselves and wish to pursue their own course of action and reject central planning, socialist countries tend to be politically authoritarian.
The economic consequences of central planning are just as bad.
For example, profits serve to reward and encourage innovation and efficiency. If you are the first to create a new product or find a cheaper way to provide a service, the individual that risks capital is financially rewarded. Under socialism, there is no incentive to innovate because the rewards go back to the planners.
Additionally, central planners only operate on their own knowledge and agenda, which is always less than the collective knowledge of society. Think of the difference between a published encyclopedia, which is static and unchanging, and a decentralized alternative—like Wikipedia, which is constantly evolving and growing.
One vital piece of knowledge is that markets coordinate prices.
Since many resources—such as steel—have a variety of different end uses, prices signal whether the use of a specific resource satisfies the top priority of the community. Should a factory produce car parts, or manufacture nails? In a market economy, prices indicate if there is a greater need for one product over another, that is for car parts or nails. In a command economy, it is the government that makes the decision.
The socialist goal of redistribution of wealth makes the basic mistake of not understanding how wealth is created. An economic system that does not reward innovation, savings, and production will see the quality of life for everyone decline.
For example, remember when everyone had a telephone in their home, but then the cell phone changed how we communicate. Without a profit incentive, why bother, and thus our lives are poorer. How many other such things might not have been developed without the incentive of profit?
Often, politicians today will not go so far as to call for the socialization of every part of the economy—only for certain sectors, like healthcare, transportation, and education, to name a few. While a mixed economy that includes a mixture of markets and socialist services can function better than a purely socialist economy, there are still problems that exist.
For example, a truly socialist healthcare system forces decisions about the use of scarce resources—like hospital beds, medical machines, and medicines—to be decided not by individuals, families, or doctors, but by government appointed central planners. While patients of socialist healthcare may not have to pay to visit the doctor, or for a hospital stay, or for a medical procedure, or prescriptions, they may face other critical obstacles like long wait times just to see a physician or to get an approved surgery, shortages of medicines, fewer doctors, centrally planned research, all resulting in a lack of medical freedom.
The case for socialism is not grounded in economics—but a sociological appeal to “equality.” Equality goes against basic human nature to better ourselves and is an artificial and forced condition that has to be centrally directed to function. In order to have choices and freedom over our lives socialism must be vigorously opposed in all ways.
Questions
In a command economy, the government controls labor—which means dictating what jobs individuals can have. If you were forced to work a job you didn't like, how would you respond?
Could a socialist government use punishment to overcome the knowledge and calculation problems featured in the video?

Donald Devine on the Enduring Tension |
(Y) | | |
Donald Devine is a legend in Washington, DC conservative circles, where he gained fame wrestling civil service bloat as head of Reagan's Office of Personnel Management. His new book The Enduring Tension: Capitalism and the Moral Order starts with Schumpter's creative destruction and asks the tough question: can capitalism alone hold America together? Channeling Hayek, Devine argues that markets are critical but not sufficient. Free and equal individualism requires a mythos and a logos, a moral order rooted in God, morality, law, or tradition—otherwise we devolve into warring factions. Bureaucratic, centralized, and unworkable government perversely encourages these factions as America rejects its federalist structure and Thomist underpinnings. This is a challenging and far-ranging book, and an excellent one for readers concerned with the tension between Locke's liberty and politically engineered license.
