Here Are My Speeches, Interviews and Debates for 2015

Dear Folks: Here are many of the speeches, interviews, etc., I gave in 2015. In a few months, I’ll blog the ones I gave in 2016. The topics ranged widely, and included many of these: Economics, environment (species extinction, global warming, running out of resources, pollution, environmental racism, garbage removal); labor economics (minimum wage, unemployment, unions, racial and sexual discrimination; glass ceiling, male-female wage and income gap); libertarianism; free enterprise; foreign policy; drug legalization; markets in used body parts; free trade; domestic welfare, international welfare (foreign aid); housing (rent control, urban planning, zoning, public housing); socialism; capitalism; egalitarianism; gun control; punishment theory, death penalty; privatization (roads, oceans, parks, libraries, schools); gay marriage; immigration; private property rights; monopoly and anti trust; abortion (pro choice, pro life, evictionism); Friedrich Hayek; Milton Friedman; Adam Smith; Ron Paul (I wrote an entire book about him); Ayn Rand; Ludwig von Mises; tough libertarian questions, challenges; my life as a libertarian; my life as an Austrian economist, an Austro- libertarian analysis of: pretty much anything; fractional reserve versus 100% reserve banking; gun control. Money, the fed, banking, the gold standard, Austrian business cycle theory. Why libertarians, and everyone else, should vote for Trump; or, the election of November 2016.
