Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute speaks on the vital subject of “Military Keynesianism”—the unholy alliance among defense contractors, foreign policy mouthpieces, and think tanks that work together to create ongoing demand for war armaments, always keeping the American people alarmed and ready for the next military intervention. Recorded in Fort Worth, Texas, on 2 June 2018. Includes an introduction by Jeff Deist.

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.
