Man, Economy, and State with Shawn Ritenour
About this episode
AOC and Paul Krugman are wrong: we can't just pay people money to stay home and expect "stuff" to materialize around us. This show explains why—as we cover Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State Chapter 5, "Production: The Structure," with our great friend Dr. Shawn Ritenour from Grove City College.
Don't miss a great discussion of that critical missing link in mainstream economics—capital theory—and its corollaries, from the temporal and uncertain nature of production to cost fallacies. This show also features plenty of examples from today's economy and a short but dynamic exposition of the evenly rotating economy by Dr. Ritenour.
