The anti-capitalists are still with us, and how. Robert Murphy has decided to give them an in-your-face economics education that they won’t forget — ever.
His approach comes from years of teaching undergraduates and dealing with the most common errors. He also draws from his teaching experience at the Mises University to offer an Austrian perspective on economics.
He offers explanations and examples that are clear and compelling. What’s wrong with zoning? Murphy explains it. Isn’t outsourcing destroying America? On the contrary says Murphy: it is a wonderful for Americans! Shouldn’t the rich fork over in the name of social justice? Murphy says that this would make us all poorer.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism is a solid and entertaining guide to free market economics written from the perspective of the Austrian School.
Robert P. Murphy is a Senior Fellow with the Mises Institute. He is the author of numerous books: Contra Krugman: Smashing the Errors of America’s Most Famous Keynesian; Chaos Theory; Lessons for the Young Economist; Choice: Cooperation, Enterprise, and Human Action; The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism; Understanding Bitcoin (with Silas Barta), among others. He is also host of The Bob Murphy Show.
Jonathan Newman returns to help Bob dissect a Twitter thread melting down about Rep. Massie's new bill to End the Fed.
Professor Garett Jones joins Bob to discuss his book, detailing the impact that immigrants' culture has on the institutions of their new home.
"I've read Human Action cover to cover at least seven times, I think, and every time I come back to it, I'm just more blown away by how smart Mises is."
