Episode 4 The Hidden Hand
In this episode we talk about economics. We cover an essay entitled "I, Pencil" by Leonard Read. It's written from the perspective of a pencil who makes the claim to humans that no single person could make a pencil. That essay takes us into further discussion about economics. We talk about economic methodology comparing empirical and a priori approaches. We compare the different schools of economic thought and then start to dive into the Austrian school and its approach to economics. We talk about building up economic science from the single axiom that man acts. We go through topics including money, wealth creation, prices, business cycle theory, inflation and even a discussion about making sandwiches. Enjoy the episode and make sure to look into the show notes for link to more reading and video on the topic that we link to.
