  • The Politcization of Economics

    The Politcization of Economics
    Aug 5 2022

    Has economics fallen to politics? Court economists like Paul Krugman–we might call them "regime economists"–represent a profession in big trouble. Jeff and Bob discuss.

    A Harvard Economist Tests Austrian Capital Theory
    Jun 19 2026

    Bob sits down with Harvard Economics Professor Pol Antràs to discuss his new paper applying Böhm-Bawerk's average period of production to international trade, testing whether countries with lower interest rates tend to export goods requiring longer, more roundabout production processes.

  • The Fed's Real Job: Propping Up Dollar Reserve Currency Status

    The Fed's Real Job: Propping Up Dollar Reserve Currency Status
    Jun 13 2026

    Bob sits down with economists Alexander Salter and Joshua Hendrickson to discuss their new paper arguing that the standard Austrian critique of the Fed while correct, is fundamentally incomplete. They argue that the Fed's actual institutional role is to backstop U.S. dollar hegemony: the deliberately constructed post-Bretton Woods system in which the dollar serves as the world's reserve currency, U.S. Treasuries as the global safe asset, and the Fed as buyer of last resort for sovereign debt worldwide.
