- The Ludwig von Mises Memorial Lecture, sponsored by Yousif Almoayyed. Recorded at the Mises Institute on March 22, 2019. Includes an introduction by Joseph T. Salerno.
The Austrian Economics Research Conference is the international, interdisciplinary meeting of the Austrian School, bringing together leading scholars doing research in this vibrant and influential intellectual tradition. The conference is hosted by the Mises Institute at its campus in Auburn, Alabama, and is directed by Joseph Salerno, professor of economics at Pace University and academic vice president of the Mises Institute.
Nice to see my old favorite institute is updating to modern literary movements.
Found Tom Woods through his recent Babylon Bee interview. Found this channel through a search on Tom Woods. Great channel, subscribed.
was listening to tom woods show from a few weeks ago with Michael on. Just as I finished it, I you-tube searched his name. Can't believe this was just posted!
"Socially, the most destructive consequences of tyranny are spread by an indeterminate, unofficial class of rulers: the officials’ favorites. In the histories of absolute monarchies, it was the king’s favorites who perpetrated the worst iniquities. Even an absolute monarch was restrained, to some minimal extent, by the necessity to pretend to maintain some semblance of justice, in order to protect his image from the people’s indignation. But the recipients of his arbitrary, capricious favor held all the privileges of power without any of the restraints. It was among the scrambling, conniving, bootlicking, backstabbing climbers of a royal court that the worst exponents of power for power’s sake were to be found. This holds true in any political system that leaves an opportunity open to them: in an absolute monarchy, in a totalitarian dictatorship, in a mixed economy. Today, what we see in this country’s intellectual field is one of the worst manifestations of political power: rule by favorites, by the unofficially privileged-by private groups with governmental power, but without governmental responsibility. They are shifting, switching groups, often feuding among themselves, but united against outsiders; they are scrambling to catch momentary favors, their precise status unknown to their members, their rivals, or their particular patrons among the hundreds of Congressmen and the thousands of bureaucrats-who are now bewildered and intimidated by these Frankensteinian creations. As in any other game devoid of objective rules, success and power in this one depend on barkers (press agents) and bluff."
Ayn Rand
That was such a great ending comment. Cue the Mises Institute logo. Brilliant! Ha ha.
Woa didn't expect Rectenwald.
Fascinating discussion about King Camp Gillette. His books _The Human Drift_ and _World Corporation_ are available online at archive.org and can be found via _The Human Drift_ wikipedia page at the bottom. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Drift
Thanks ! I was about to go look for this.
Love this!
Brilliant! Thank you.
Great talk! Thank you 🙏
Love this channel
An interesting perspective with apparent merit.
Michael I enjoyed your interview on coast to coast AM do you have a copy of the interview, as I cant seem one online. I would like very much to share it.
Would love for the mises institute to have a black speaker perhaps Thomas Sowell
Would love to hear Sowell, but not because of his skin color.
In his summation, did anyone else hear something like Lewis’ “NICE” from “That Hideous Strength”?
An issue I've noticed is that there is a group (I do not know the size) who counter the woke collectivists with more collectivism. Yes, their collective differs in what they want, but the methods are much the same. Think what I allow you to think and purge the rest. And much like the zombified woke, they too have plans for economic central planning.
They can call people here "lolbertarians" all they wish. No one should be forced to agree with anyone, but to a great extent, they are much the same thing that they think they oppose.
@Jean Jourdain I'm not entirely sure you read anything in my OP.
10:40 George Lukasz is not to be confused with George Lucas
I’ve studied the communist movement and propaganda and epistemology extensively...I think he’s very close to the bullseye. I almost wish he didn’t use such flowery language because it makes him seem less confident than he should be - he’s wicked-smart.
He has a learned audience. But you are correct that we desperately need to beidge the gap with a message suitable for the consumption of those less intellectually inclined.
@@benisrood God willing, I pray everyday for the conversion of the communist. Until that time the brainwashing runs deep.
@@michaelfoye1135 according to Bezmenov it would take more than a generation to undo the damage caused by ideological subversion, if it's possible at all.
Thank you for saying “homosexual” and not “gay!” We must avoid using the Left’s terms when defining our arguments and making our cases.
The dude speaking at 48:13 has acanthosis nigricans on the back of his knuckles. That's a sign of insulin resistance, and if he's not already gaining weight, he likely will be soon if he doesn't fix his diet
Not true.
what does rechtenwald know about the monstrous.. out of control..wildly escalating national debt ?
His “solution” reminds me to suggest Roy Clouser’s “Myth of Religious Neutrality” to those who want to define religion as just that which lacks evidence etc, otherwise its accepting and working on their terms in a way that’s not against them. “The Creed” is so amorphous and lost among types of theory and their preferred individual world axis by which they adjure the world (indigeneity, melanin, non-binary, etc).
Watching this after coke told me to be less white
Good info, but terrible public speaker. If he was going to just read his notes, and poorly at that, he should have had someone else read.
Get a life!
Yeah does he have anxiety?
The significance of the content supercedes the manner in which it is presented. Not everyone who has important things to say has a soothing voice or eloquent presentation. Adjust your expectations to avoid disappointment.
Better a good author and a terrible speaker than the inverse.
Literally has a marble in his mouth.
Fulcoult redeemable? No, sir.
He had me until he mentioned Larken Rose. I can't think of a more unworthy ideologue.
We need look no further for evidence of a rigged game than any "user agreement" for any user end product/IP whereby no one reads it, there is no option to conditionally accept or negotiate (where consent is constructivist concept), and all terms are subject to change with the whims and will of the corporation.
The state is all these things.
Stop playing, or play while making known the coercion, entropy, and unfairness inherent in all human systems.
Where did he mention Larken Rose? I heard nothing about Larken Rose.
A questioner mentioned LR, not Dr Rectenwald
Jesus Christ! This guy droned on, and on. Terrible public speaking.
Highly interesting subject and he is very well read.
Maybe he was uncomfortable presenting before the current audience?
I agree. He looks stressed or, worse, medicated. His speech makes very little sense.
@@occultsoundscapes Maybe you're just too stupid to understand. Everyone in the room understood perfectly. Maybe *you* are the one who's medicated, or should be.
Only sounds like droning to those who can't understand the content.
@@waldo99ish I understood it just fine. Don't make dumbass assumptions.
