Radio Rothbard is a weekly podcast featuring a cast of Mises Institute voices and special guests. The show tackles politics, current events, culture, media, and of course the predatory state, all from an uncompromising Rothbardian perspective. Radio Rothbard is the weekly anti-politics podcast you won't want to miss!
The late Murray Rothbard is in many ways the godfather of the modern libertarian movement, starting with the publication of his great treatise 'Man, Economy, and State', back in 1962. And of course, Rothbard played an instrumental role in helping Lew Rockwell get the Mises Institute off the ground.
This weekend's show features a great panel discussion about Murray—not just the economist and the intellectual scholar, but also Murray the man. The panel features David Gordon, Walter Block, and Joe Salerno—all three of whom worked with Murray, and knew him personally for many, many years prior to his death in 1995.
So, if you're a fan of Rothbard, you will enjoy this free-wheeling discussion of what Murray was like not just as an intellectual and a scholar, but also as a person.

Our guest this week is Caitlin Long, president and chairman of the smart contracts platform company Symbiont. Caitlin is a twenty-year Wall Street veteran, and now she's turned her focus toward using blockchain technology to revolutionize the business world. Caitlin and Jeff discuss how blockchain technology could vastly reduce the role of middlemen in all kinds of everyday transactions, obviating the need for a lot of regulation in the process. Who needs lawyers and endless contract negotiations when the element of distrust between parties can be mitigated? Will the blockchain eliminate the need for "trust agent" intermediaries in real estate and M&A transactions? What will true peer-to-peer exchange mean for banks and stock exchanges? And will we even recognize the financial services industry in 20 or 30 years?
Stay tuned for a great interview with Caitlin Long.

Professor Mark Thornton and Jeff Deist finish Part Four of Human Action with a look at Chapters 21–24 of the book—a powerful exposition of how social cooperation and market exchange create far more harmony in society than state power. Here Mises explains how we all choose labor or leisure every day, and why wages are not the exploitative pittance socialists imagine. Land and rents have been misconstrued as special factors of production, when in fact market exchange helps us understand their prices just like any other good.
These chapters serve as a nice summation of several themes in the book, and set the stage for considering full socialism in Part Five.
