On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop celebrate Independence Day, respond to the revolution’s critics, and explain why Rothbard viewed it as an example for libertarian strategy.
The entrepreneurial business model is built on a set of important economic principles. Wandering away from the entrepreneurial pathway can lead to errors that Per Bylund christened UNtrepreneurship.

James Beardsley owns and runs a law practice. He decided from the outset that he would run it like a business — not all lawyers do — and, once he had discovered Austrian Economics, he saw more clearly how to succeed in reaching his goal.
Hunter Hastings and James discuss the principles of Austrian Economics that James puts to work.

After losing several men, John Brown’s cause was hopeless. With Robert E. Lee and a company of United States marines showing up to end the attack, John Brown resolved that he would be better off as a martyr than a liberator. This episode is part 3 of 3 on John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry.

But don't despair, Jeff will soon be back with a brand new format: The Human Action Podcast. The new show is not radically different, but focuses more exclusively on Austrian economics, its great books, and its great thinkers — with longer, more in-depth interviews. But don't take our word for it, tune in next week to the first show with David Gordon!
Your RSS-fed platforms like Stitcher and SoundCloud will continue to support the new show, while Mises.org will still host both streaming and downloadable audio files. And your iTunes subscription will redirect you from Mises Weekends to The Human Action Podcast.
This week Jeff takes a hard look at socialism and why it seems to gain greater support in the US and across the West. Do people really understand socialism as Mises did, and do they really want collective ownership of industry? Or do they just want what he termed "pseudo-socialist" economic systems that redistribute wealth? What motivates socialists? And how do they reconcile their moralizing self-regard with the doctrine that socialism is inevitable and inexorable?

Ryan and Zach take a look at how the Pentagon is now lobbying for a "national defense industrial strategy." In a new report, the Pentagon calls for more central planning and socialism in the name of national defense.

It is a myth that "we don't make things in America anymore." Thanks to automation, we simply need fewer people to make more stuff.

We wrap up our look at Murray Rothbard's sprawling two volume An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought with Dr. Joe Salerno, Rothbard's friend and colleague. This show covers the second volume exclusively, starting with the Frenchman JB Say and working through Ricardo, the British Currency School, John Stuart Mill, and finally Karl Marx. Salerno has penetrating insights about all of these thinkers, from Say's understanding of production to Ricardo's erroneous systemization of Adam Smith. He also has great background regarding Mises and the Currency School vs. Banking School debate, on free banking and full reserve banking, and on Mill's deep misconception of money. The show ends with a thorough look at Rothbard's treatment of Marx over more than 100 pages: Marx's sick view of man as a collective, his hatred for the division of labor, his absurd and deterministic "laws of history," his materialism as a replacement for spiritualism, and the underlying folly of "superabundant production."

In recent decades, Chile set itself apart from the rest of Latin America with successful market reforms and a stable political system. Average Chileans prospered. But now that's all at risk.
