Per Bylund – How to Think About the Economy | Libertarianism.UK Podcast
Today, we spoke with Per Bylund, a Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute and Professor of Entrepreneurship at Oklahoma State University, about his recent book, 'How to Think about the Economy'. During our conversation, we spoke about his journey from Sweden to Oklahoma, how the book came into existence, why it needed to come into existence, and other earlier books written by Professor Bylund. We also talked about the current state of the world economy, entrepreneurship, and Elon Musk's recent comments on TruthGTP and 'artificial intelligence', as well as the 'Gig Economy' and the 'Unrealized' effects of government regulations.
