Peter Boettke & David Prychitko on Academia and Libertarianism, Pt. 1

On the first of a three-part series on academia and libertarianism, Peter Boettke and David Prychitko share a conversation on their early experiences in graduate school. They discuss why the work of Don Lavoie was so instrumental in their formations as young scholars and how they both were introduced to various libertarian influences within economics. As part of the conversation, they also discuss the role of reading broadly in research and the importance of maintaining a multi-disciplinary approach to learning. CC Music: Twisterium

Om Podcasten

The Hayek Program Podcast includes audio from lectures, interviews, and discussions of scholars and visitors from the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. The F. A. Hayek Program is devoted to the promotion of teaching and research on the institutional arrangements that are suitable for the support of free and prosperous societies. Implicit in this statement is the presumption that those arrangements are to some extent open to conscious selection, as well as the appreciation that the type of arrangements that are selected within a society can influence significantly the economic, political, and moral character of that society.
