The National Security Complex: Contemporary Statism on Steroids | David Stockman

{Mises Media | 17 May 2024}

"The empire can and should be dismantled. 1949 was a crucial mistake—a pivot point that has led to this massive fiscal and political crisis that we have in America today. This is pretty evident to a lot of us, but it was evident to Mises in 1949, and I think we should have followed his advice."

My Discovery of Human Action and Mises as a Philosopher
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/my-discovery-of-human-action-and-mises:6
{Mises Media | 18 May 2024}

“Sociology is in constant danger of thinking something is a law that is not a law. And economists frequently think that something is a hypothesis for the viable regularity when it is, in fact, a logically necessary truth. And Mises is a person who can set us right in all of this. and help us avoid these confusions that have invaded most of the social sciences.”

Human Action: The Antidote to Progressivism | Joseph T. Salerno
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/human-action-the-antidote-to:4
{Mises Media | 20 May 2024}

“Human Action is the foundational work of modern Austrian economics, and that is reason enough for reading it. But there is an equally compelling reason for carefully studying Mises’s great treatise. For it is the antidote to the real and immediate threat to human liberty and society, represented by the prevailing social philosophy of progressivism.”

Mises and Rothbard on Credit Contraction during a Downturn | Patrick Newman
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/mises-and-rothbard-on-credit-contraction:9
{Mises Media | 20 May 2024}

"Read the great book of Mises. It's the foundation that all of us have tried to develop and defend: the praxeological edifice of economic theory."

Entrepreneurship and Property Rights | Peter G. Klein
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/entrepreneurship-and-property-rights:7
{Mises Media | 20 May 2024}

"It is impossible to eliminate the entrepreneur from the picture of a market economy. So, an entrepreneur is central to our understanding of what a market is."

The Law of Association: Foundation of Human Society | Paul F. Cwik
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/the-law-of-association-foundation-of:a
{Mises Media | 20 May 2024}

"We can build a society that's based on peace and cooperation, and we can create a society that flourishes. That's why the law of association is so important."

The Book That Made Me an Economist | Shawn Ritenour
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/the-book-that-made-me-an-economist-shawn:c
{Mises Media | 20 May 2024}

"One of the great lessons of Mises's Human Action is that the institutions of the free society—private property and sound money—make up the environment enabling economic progress and hence economic flourishing."

Presented at the 2024 Human Action Conference on Friday, 17 May 2024, at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama.

 
The Challenge of Praxeological Realism | Jörg Guido Hülsmann
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/the-challenge-of-praxeological-realism:5
{Mises Media | 20 May 2024}

"Like most of us in this room, I have never met Ludwig von Mises in person. I first encountered his ideas some 20 years after his passing. In what follows, I will first describe this encounter. And then I will zoom in on his book, Human Action, and explain why it embodies the research paradigm of praxeological realism and also what the challenges related to it are."

This was superb.
 
Human Action: Foundations for the Modern Austrian School | Randall G. Holcombe
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/human-action-foundations-for-the-modern:f
{Mises Media | 21 May 2024}

“When Human Action first appeared, its distinctive Austrian school approach was already considered a closed chapter in the history of economic thought. So, Human Action and Mises’ New York University seminar had a huge impact. It’s the reason that we’re here today. It’s the reason that we have a modern Austrian school.”

Reading, Teaching, and Quoting Mises | Mark Thornton
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/reading,-teaching,-and-quoting-mises:8
{Mises Media | 21 May 2024}

“Those first 300 pages are rather difficult. And they’re difficult for a variety of different reasons for both professional economists as well as just regular people. Regular people wonder, what are all these insane criticisms that Mises is spending so much time addressing? And the professional economist wants to know, why doesn’t he get on to regular economics? I’m going to talk about that a little differently here today.”

Mises’s Epicurean Ethics | David Gordon
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/mises’s-epicurean-ethics-david-gordon:9
{Mises Media | 22 May 2024}

“These days, Stoicism is very fashionable, and popular books on this subject are easy to find. Ludwig von Mises drew from a different tradition of Greek ethics, Epicureanism.”
