Auburn University professor Dr. Liliana Stern joins a special live episode of the Human Action Podcast for an unvarnished look at the state of economics education today. Why are theory and history ignored, while warmed-over Keynesian models dominate? How can Austrians reclaim their rightful place in the curriculum? Are economics students finding jobs? Why do academic publishing and textbook rackets persist? And why is actual teaching such a low priority?

If you care about how economics is taught today, don’t miss this show!

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.
