Contra Krugman: Demolishing the Economic Myths of the 2016 Election

Contra Krugman LIVE!

Contra Krugman Show live at Seattle Mises Circle

05/25/2016 Robert P. Murphy Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

The Mises Institute hosts the first ever live episode of the Contra Krugman Show.

How does Paul Krugman, the New York Times‘s resident Keynesian and patron saint of leftwing economics, get everything so completely wrong? Bob Murphy and Tom Woods not only have a great time skewering Krugman, but also teach you how to refute the economic fallacies that so many of your family and friends fall for.

Recorded at Seattle’s historic Town Hall on 21 May 2016. Includes an introduction by Betsy Hansen, opening remarks by Bob Murphy (2:41), The Contra Krugman Show (9:45), and closing remarks by Tom Woods (41:12) and Jeff Deist (50:21).

Special thanks to the Harvey Allison family for making this event possible.

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.
