The Austrian Tradition in Economics

The Austrian Tradition in Economics
Pete Boettke
YouTube, 2015
Level: beginner
Perspective: Austrian Economics
Topic: Microeconomics & Markets, Reflection of Economics
Format: Podcast
Duration: 58:02
Link: https://youtu.be/Sq5y9fLzdvY

Peter Boettke, Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University, talks about the history and the main methodological and epistemological tenets of the Austrian school. He argues that good economics is the mainline tradition of "squaring rational choice with the invisible hand theorem through institutional analysis".

 

Comment from our editors:

The talk is useful for getting a better perspective on the differences between libertarian movement and Austrian economics. Boettke is polemicizing with the standard libertarian 'mythology' and points out that it has to be about doing good economics and not about politics.

Coping with disasters: Lessons from two centuries of international response
The world is coping with a global disaster, as the new Coronavirus takes a toll on many lost lives and a severe impact on economic activity. To provide a long-run perspective, this column documents the international response to a variety of disasters since 1790. Based on a new comprehensive database on loans extended by governments and central banks, official (sovereign-to-sovereign) international lending is much larger than generally known. Official lending spikes in times of global turmoil, such as wars, financial crises or natural disasters. Indeed, in these periods, official capital flows have repeatedly surpassed total private capital flows in the past two centuries. Wars, in particular, were accompanied by large surges in the volume of official cross-border lending.
