Dennis Tubbergen hosts Dr. Jonathan Newman, a fellow at the Mises Institute, on RLA Radio. Dr. Newman discusses the mission of the Mises Institute, which focuses on teaching Austrian economics through various programs and publications. He explains the principles of Austrian economics, emphasizing its focus on real human behavior and market interactions, contrasting it with mainstream Keynesian economics. Dr. Newman attributes current economic issues, such as inflation and asset bubbles, to government and Federal Reserve policies, particularly those implemented during the pandemic. He also critiques Elon Musk's views on money, arguing that money should be seen as a good that people demand for its specific services, rather than an abstract representation of real things. Dr. Newman offers listeners a free copy of Murray Rothbard's book, "What Has Government Done to Our Money?" and information on a course titled "Lessons for the Young Economist." Dr. Jonathan Newman is a Fellow at the Mises Institute. He earned his PhD at Auburn University while a Research Fellow at the Mises Institute. He was the recipient of the 2021 Gary G. Schlarbaum Award to a Promising Young Scholar for Excellence in Research and Teaching. Previously, he was Associate Professor of Economics and Finance at Bryan College. He has published in the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics and in volumes edited by Matthew McCaffrey and Per Bylund. His research focuses on Austrian economics, inflation and business cycles, and the history of economic thought. He has taught courses on Macroeconomics and Quantitative Economics: Uses and Limitations in the Mises Graduate School. To learn more about our guest, Jonathan Newman, visit Mises.org.
