Man, Economy, and State: Exchange and Prices
Professor Jonathan Newman joins the show to discuss exchange and prices through the lens of Rothbard’s Man, Economy, and State (chapters 2–4). This is vintage Rothbard: precise definitions; hardcore explanations of property, prices, and exchange; the problems of “hegemonic” state violence; and a “beautiful” (per Dr. Newman) conception of social cooperation. Menger and Mises are important in this discussion too, as Rothbard elaborates on the origins of money and the Regression Theorem. Don’t miss this great show!
