One of my talks at Francisco Marroquín University was on making sense of our mixed economy–an unwieldy combination of market and socialist elements. The 28-minute talk integrates themes from my intellectual heroes–Smith, Mill, Mises, Hayek, Rand, Popper, Friedman, Buchanan, and Tullock–and connects market economics, politics, ethics, history, and public choice to explaining our semi-coherent mixed economy. The flowchart worked through is online here.

Stephen:
You are certainly one of the preeminent intellectual integrators operating in the field of education today. This is another excellent presentation; one which I thoroughly enjoyed. Regardless of their philosophical starting point, this is an excellent primer that everyone who wants to engage in political discourse and analysis would do well to review, so as to have a common framework for further discussion. Thanks for all of your excellent work in pulling this information together.
Thanks for that, Jeffery. I’m glad to know you enjoyed it, and I appreciate the high compliment.
