Dr. Peter Boettke joins us to discuss the enduring lessons of Nobel Prize-winning economist F.A. Hayek. Sharing insights from his recent book, "F. A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy," Dr. Boettke contemplates how Hayek would approach some of the modern issues of today such as the popularity of democratic socialism and the COVID-19 pandemic. As a college professor of economics, including many years as a TFAS professor in our Prague program, Dr. Boettke shares how he reaches young people with Hayek's lessons and helps them to understand that these principles hold true today.
Dr. Boettke is a University Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University, as well as the Director of the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and the BB&T Professor for the Study of Capitalism at the Mercatus Center.
