Foreign Investments and the Spirit of Capitalism0:25 How the Industrial Revolution and foreign investment made some nations rich while others stayed poor, closing with Mises’s defense of capitalism. Profit and Loss, Private Property, and the Achievements of Capitalism0:25 The crucial difference between physical “capital goods” and “capital” as an accounting concept, and how profit and loss, private property, and economic calculation steer production toward what consumers actually want. Money, Interest, and the Business Cycle23:22 The two great confusions about money and interest, from Aristotle’s “money cannot beget money” to modern credit expansion, and how monetary manipulation by banks and governments produces inflation and the business cycle. The Making of Modern Civilization: Savings, Investment, and Economic Calculation23:22 The first economics lecture: how saving, capital goods, and investment build modern prosperity—illustrated by the fisherman who forgoes today’s catch to make nets—and why capital must be guided by economic calculation. Marxism and the Manipulation of Man22:19 Why Marxism spread so widely while going long unchallenged, how its slogans slipped into everyday speech, and the Marxian urge to “organize” society by treating individuals as raw material to be arranged. Nationalism, Socialism, and Violent Revolution22:19 How Marxism claims that truth itself is attainable only in a classless society, and how the cult of “action” and violence—by way of Georges Sorel and French syndicalism—fed into Leninism, fascism, and Nazi racial doctrine. Individualism and the Industrial Revolution22:19 The liberal ideal of the individual and rational, welfare-serving law, and a defense of the Industrial Revolution against the myth that early capitalism degraded the common man. Class Conflict and Revolutionary Socialism22:19 Marx’s doctrine of class and class conflict: the claim that class interests determine how people think and set the classes in irreconcilable conflict—with Mises noting that Marx never actually defined what a class is. Fireworks for the Regime: What July 4th Actually Celebrates22:18 Every July 4th, Americans are handed sparklers and told to celebrate their freedom. Politicians climb podiums, flags wave, a hundred million dollars’ worth of Mind, Materialism, and the Fate of Man21:15 Mises opens the philosophical half of the course by arguing that Marx’s materialism—the claim that a person’s economic class shapes his very ideas and logic—dominates modern thought, and he begins to dismantle it. Introduction to Marxism Unmasked21:15 Richard M. Ebeling recalls the world of 1952, when socialism seemed ascendant everywhere, summarizes Marx’s system of historical materialism and class struggle, and introduces Mises as one of its most formidable critics. Cronyism and Regulatory Capture19:08 As AI becomes a more important and visible part of our lives, the movement to regulate it also grows. The standard regulation narratives—that government regulates things in the name of the public interest—clearly do not fit the facts. The War System19:08 "The main aim of American foreign policy is to impose the will of our ruling elite on the rest of the world." Appendix 2: On the Term “Liberalism”18:04 Mises defends his use of the word: true liberalism is defined by private ownership of the means of production, and he explains why he keeps the name despite its distorted modern usage. Appendix 1: On the Literature of Liberalism18:04 Mises's guided reading list of the essential works of liberal thought, from Hume, Smith, and Bentham onward, for readers who want to study the tradition in depth. |
