Austrian Economics Part 2: Government Intervention and the Assumption of Power

Christopher J. Coyne, Professor of Economics at George Mason University and co-author of The Essential Austrian Economics, returns to the podcast to join host Rosemarie Fike in a discussion about why the Austrian School’s way of thinking about politics, social change, and governmental power is as relevant today as ever—specifically, how advocating for expansion of state power may be intended as a vehicle for good but when leadership changes, so do the government’s priorities. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
