Trade is Made of Win, Part 1

Trade is Made of Win, Part 1

The Institute for Humane Studies is putting together (and beta-testing) a series of short videos on basic principles of economics and the classical liberal tradition; they’re available at LearnLiberty.org. Here the first of my three “Trade is Made of Win” videos, which you might find useful if you’re teaching comparative advantage. In it, I explain how trade allows both buyers and sellers to get more for less effort. In short, buyers get lower prices and sellers get higher prices.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
