Man Economy and State – Monopoly with Dr. Walter Block

Man, Economy, and State
Man, Economy, and State

Man Economy and State is een belangrijk werk van de Amerikaanse economisch publicist Murray Rothbard, icoon van het Liberlarisme.

Een analyse van de werking van monopolies zoals u die niet eerder of vaak hebt gehoord.

When Murray Rothbard wrote Man, Economy, and State in the 1950s, monopoly theory was a mess. Even Mises did not have a full understanding of where neoclassical economics went wrong in diagnosing “market failure.” But in Chapter 10 of his great treatise, Rothbard demolished the myths surrounding monopolies and cartels. His friend Dr. Walter Block joins the show to discuss Rothbard’s breakthroughs and draw downward-sloping demand diagrams for us!

We discuss why deadweight loss is nonsense; why government privilege and forced union bargaining are the real culprits; and why cartels are inherently unstable. Even Google should not worry us, says Dr. Block—but with a caveat. Don’t miss this show on groundbreaking Rothbardian monopoly insights!

    Alle monopolies, en overheids-diktaten,
    zijn de doods-steek tegen een vrije economie :
    een economie met eerlijke concurrentie, vrij ondernemerschap, onafhankelijke innovatie, democratische wetten en rechtstaat.
    Tegenwoordig zijn het de high tech companies, samen met totalitaire overheden,
    die elke maatschappelijke vrijheid, de nek omdraaien.
