In ep. 28 of the Bob Murphy Show, I lay out Bohm-Bawerk’s own theory of interest.

If you are a professional economist, you should at least give this a listen starting at 37:10. That’s the second half of the episode where I explain how Bohm-Bawerk’s critique of the “naive productivity theory of interest” can be correct, even though mainstream models routinely conclude that r=MPK. Of course, if you call yourself an Austrian, then you are obligated to listen to the entire thing no later than August 10, 2019.

But it was being stuck in an airport reading what happened to Scott Alexander, the day after Sarwark’s shenanigans, that pushed me over the edge. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Set aside 90 minutes and listen to this one, folks.

My interview with Alex Tabarrok is up. A fun discussion between two economists geeking out.

I have been traveling a lot and I can’t remember if I posted all of these. So anyway… The Bob Murphy Show ep. 14 is my review of The Three Lads and the Lizard King. The BMS ep. 15 is my interview with David Gornoski, which got into some heavy-duty stuff about scapegoating. The BMS ep. 16 is my interview with Joe Salerno, which covers some of his work in Austrian economics but also fun Rothbard anecdotes. And the last three episodes of Contra...

This is the episode that will make people either love me or think, “OK yeah, he’s crazy.”
