The Human Action Podcast reviews another overlooked classic by Ludwig von Mises: 'The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality' (Mises.org/AntiCap). This book takes no prisoners, showing how envy motivates progressive and conservative intellectuals who fear dynamic capitalism. The real reactionaries, according to Mises? Socialists who want to keep everyone stuck at one station in life. Our friend Andy Duncan (Mises.org/Duncan) from Mises UK, who recently reviewed the book, joins the show to discuss. Read the book free at Mises.org/AntiCap, or enter code "HAPOD" in our bookstore to buy a softcover for only $5!

Looking for adventure and glory, William Walker leads a group of Americans into Nicaragua to join the country’s civil war, with the hope of “Americanizing” Latin America. This episode is the Part 1 of 6 of the story of William Walker’s attempt at establishing his own Republic of Nicaragua. [CORRECTION]: At 7:46 Chris Calton refers to John C. Calhoun as Vice President at that time. However, as Chris notes in the comments, "Calhoun was a US Senator for most of the time Walker was in New Orleans. I was rushing through the early years, and I was not being conscientious of the timeline. Thank you for the correction." Chris Calton gives a revisionist look at the antebellum period leading up to the Civil War. This is the 14th episode in the second season of Historical Controversies.
