Peter Boettke & Steven Horwitz on Austrian Economics in Recent Times, Pt. 2

In part two of a two-part series, Peter Boettke and Steven Horwitz finish their conversation about Austrian economics and its current influence in the academy. The pair reflect on their intellectual journeys throughout graduate school and consider the effects of teaching on a young scholar's academic development. Later in the podcast, Steve Horwitz recalls the lessons he learned from Don Lavoie on "steel-manning" an intellectual opponent's argument, while Peter Boettke examines the importance of what he calls a "five-tool" academic.

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.
