Transcript:
A Guide to Man, Economy and State by Murray Rothbard, 2nd Scholar's edition.
Copyright 2009 by the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Auburn, Alabama.
Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for tuning in.
Since economics is not part of a regular school's curriculum, even sceptical minds have a hard time to analyse economic arguments.
In this format I try to provide explanations of single concepts in less than ninety seconds.
The content is based on Man, Economy and State, which I chose for two reasons.
First, Man, Economy and State is a comprehensive treatise on economics covering almost everything, if not in every possible detail.
Second, the Scholar's Edition is made publically available by the Ludwig von Mises Institute as e-book and audio book on mises.org.
This allows you to double check what I say and call me out for every error or omission in the comment section.
Going through nearly one-and-a-half thousand pages on my own again would be tedious.
Thank you for accompanying me!
