Summary

Scott talks with Ryan McMaken about free markets and free trade. They begin with a discussion about the role of the Mises Institute in the push for sound money. Scott then asks McMaken about the nuances of debating capitalism vs. socialism while living under a mixed economy. They then discuss the changing role of the United States in the world. McMaken does believe a “rules-based international order” existed after the fall of the USSR. But that the U.S. destroyed it by invading Iraq in 2003. McMaken argues that the best path forward is a commitment to the classical liberal ideals of free markets at home and nonintervention abroad. Discussed on the show: Scott’s Kennedy Appearance Mises.org Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin “The "Rules-Based International Order" Is Dead. Washington Killed It” (Mises Wire) Ryan McMaken is a senior editor at the Mises Institute.
