Welcome to Radio Rothbard!

Bob shows how the movie "A Beautiful Mind" got game theory wrong. 

Lockdowns, protests, decimated economy, unemployment, and raw animosity. What does it all mean for you, for freedom, and for the future of America—economic and otherwise?

The economic and social damage done by lockdowns in Germany has fallen largely on the young, especially as older workers hold most of the secure and lucrative government jobs.

Bob explains some of the highlights of his newly released chapter for the Mises Institute book on “Understanding Money Mechanics.”

Our guest is Amy Wax, Robert Mundheim Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
