The Human Action Podcast

We hope you enjoy a new Mises Institute podcast series, focused on Austrian theory in-depth — with the best PhDs discussing core books and core topics. We encourage listeners to look past the white noise and learn — or relearn — real economics. The ultimate goal is introducing more and more people to original sources, from Menger forward.

These are 60+ minutes in length, and unique (we think) in the podcast world. Please subscribe, rate, and review!
