It is my sincere hope that everyone will avail themselves of Mr. Maybury's work.

With Radio Free Market Host, Michael McKay.

Written in 1949 Ludwig Von Mises' magnum opus Human Action is the seminal work that put in motion the Austrian Economic Revolution.

Are there Universal Economic Laws that do not change just because we have crossed political borders?

If so, what are they and are they independent of Time, Culture or Geography?

How are Bailouts of Businesses handled differently in Capitalist versus Socialist Economies?

Can wars be prevented by free trade?

Ludwig Von Mises said that if a man wants to be free then he needs to study Economics otherwise his freedoms and his property rights will be constantly eroded. Why is this? And How does this happen? 

Can just anyone, even a novice to Austrian Economics, read Human Action and understand it?

This tremendously educating show could be labeled ' Health Care Solutions in One Lesson'. Hosted by Michael McKay.

** The Costs of Inflation and the Myth of Wealth Disparity with Dr. Steve Horwitz **

Dr. Steve Horwitz is the Charles A. Dana Professor of Economics at St. Lawrence University. He blogs at www.CoordinationProblem.org. 

Is Inflation just a rise in prices?

Are the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer? These are two major fallacies promoted in the Press and believed by many.

Can you believe that there is more to the story than you hear in the Main Stream Media? 

Inflation involves an increase in the money supply, and as you'll come to understand it can have major effects on you, your income, your savings and the entire economy.

Inflation of the Money Supply along with the Central Bank's manipulation of Interest Rates creates false signals that ripple outward, unevenly, benefiting a few at the expense of the rest of us. THIS is the real "disparity". We'll see where it comes from and how it works.

But is the divide between the poor and the rich - in terms of Wealth - all that great? Dr. Horwitz debunks many of the myths surrounding "wealth inequality".

Did you know that many goods are cheaper, of higher quality, and in more abundance for the poor than ever before? We'll see why!

Tune in to this broadcast to find out how a system of Centralized Money Creation and Non-Market Determined Interest Rates lead to massive distortions in the economy, as well as Why Wealth isn't as skewed as you commonly hear it is.

** Hamilton's Curse: Central Banking and Permanent Big Government with Dr. DiLorenzo **

*Special Interview with Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo, author of 'Hamilton's Curse'. Dr. DiLorenzo is a Professor of Economics at Loyola University and is also the author of many important books such as "The Real Lincoln" and "How Capitalism Saved America".

** Answering Your Questions with Pat Barron and Cole Cheney **

Professor Patrick Barron is a private consultant in the banking industry. He teaches in the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin and teaches Austrian Economics at the University of Iowa. Mr. Cole Cheney is an undergraduate at the University of Iowa majoring in Finance and Economics who is a student of Professor Barron.

Together they will provide a Professor's (read that: Older Person's) Perspective as contrasted with a Younger Person's Perspective on a wide range of Current Events and Topics, such as:

 * Why does the U.S. (and so many other countries) have so much government debt now?  Why didn't governments get themselves so heavily into debt in the 19th century and earlier?

 * What's wrong with governments just printing as much money as they need to pay off their debts, bail out key industries that get into trouble, and give everyone lots of welfare benefits?

 * Wouldn't the U.S. go into a permanent depression if the government stopped spending so much money? Why we should - and HOW WE CAN - address America's Monetary and Fiscal Mess which is WORSE than that of Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland.

 * What is the Mainstream Press NOT covering and NOT reporting? Is the PRESS partially at fault?  Should we call them 'PRESSTITUTES'? 

 * What is the implication of the growing Sound Money Movement in Utah, Switzerland and what this means to you.

 * What is the future for Social Security and Medicare.....and how is it going to affect you and your age group?

** What America urgently needs to learn: Lessons from the Demise of the Soviet Union** with Dr. Yuri Maltsev

Yuri's unique background provides insights all Americans need to hear today.

The Soviet system, despite describing itself as the ideal of Equality and Fairness, was in fact a system of Slavery, Economic Destitution and Mass Murder.

Why do some Americans say they are FOR Socialism and against Communism? Dr. Maltsev answers that they do not understand EITHER Communism nor Socialism. In this vitally important interview he clears up this confusion.

Though the Evil Empire of the Soviet Union has since collapsed, we Americans have not learned WHY and are still not listening to those, like Dr. Maltsev, who have been tirelessly yelling at us to STOP before we go over the cliff into the abyss of a Police State. We are repeating the same historical mistakes that led Russia to become 'Soviet Russia'; into a hell of centralization, terror and a system of Mass Slavery.

It CAN happen here and - incrementally over the past many years - Dr. Maltsev talks about how he has watched aghast as it IS happening here.

Dr. Maltsev points out the many ways our Property Rights and Basic Freedoms we Americans cherish are SYSTEMATICALLY ERODING - and what we can do to stop this deadly spiral.

During this very important show, Dr. Maltsev presents the real ways to reverse this trend and create real growth and prosperity for all: real property rights, the rule of law and preventing the incremental growth of government and bureaucracy.

Please join us as we interview Dr. Yuri Maltsev on these vital lessons that we can learn today - that we NEED to learn - from the fall of the Soviet Union.

The collapse of the Soviet Union shows us that there are two paths from which we can choose: the Soviet path of Slavery and Coercion, or the way of peace, prosperity and freedom.

This show was inspired by Dr. Maltsev's lecture to the Austrian Scholars Conference held in Auburn, Alabama, in March. 2011. Please read the entirety of his lecture which you can find posted on our Radio Free Market blog which is linked here.

This show was developed, and recorded by Radio Free Market Guest Host, Mr. Christopher Oppermann.

** How Do Banks Create Money Out of Thin Air? Revealing the Secrets of How Banks Get Away with it Every Day ** with Professor Patrick Barron

In this important show we review Murray Rothbard's great book, The Mystery of Banking, originally written in 1983, which is perhaps the book that most clearly and completely DEMYSTIFIES Banking and how it works. Gene Epstein, a columnist for Barron's Magazine, has called The Mystery of Banking the "best book to read for anyone interested in understanding how our banking system works."

Patrick Barron has been a consultant to the banking industry since 1985. He teaches at the Graduate School of Banking, University of Wisconsin, Madison and Austrian Economics at the University of Iowa.

What is Banking and How do Banks Work? They are much more than just a place to put your money and from which to borrow money - banks are either bastions of economic stability or creators of economic instability.

Does the bank creation of money out of thin air, called "fractional reserve banking" make banks inherently prone to bankruptcy? In fact, this is WHY banks want a "lender of last resort", called the Federal Reserve..... so that THEY can get bailed out as needed!

But don't we need banks to be Centrally Regulated? The Mystery of Banking shows how, contrary to conventional wisdom, banking in the US has always been highly regulated and tied intimately to government expansion.

We will also discuss why Big Banks love Government (and why Government loves Big Banks).

Rothbard's classic book removes the veil of ignorance so that everyone can understand how Money and Banking works today - and should be allowed to work if we want a more Stable and Growing Economy.

Money is one half of every transaction you make in the Marketplace - this show will give essential information that every person, young and old, needs to have. Please listen and share this excellent broadcast with others.

With Show Creator and Radio Free Market Guest Host Mr. Drew Hjelm.

** The Great Depression and The Federal Reserve with Dr. Robert Murphy **

Interview with Dr. Robert Murphy, author of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and The New Deal".

Could it be that just about everything you were taught in High School about the Great Depression Period was False.

What is the Real Story?

Did the Federal Reserve CAUSE the Great Depression? If so, how?

Is the Federal Reserve causing our current Financial Crisis? And making it Worse?

We also discuss how the Cash for Clunkers program - and other programs to trick the public into Spending More and Saving Less -  was just like the FDR program that - while people were standing in food lines - actually poured milk down drains and destroyed crops to artificially prop up prices.

Dr. Murphy provides practical recommendations that address our current Financial Mess, which could turn into an even Greater Depression.

Please tune in for this very important show. With Radio Free Market Founder and Host, Michael McKay.

Please review this excellent essay by Dr. Murphy titled, A Primer On The Never Ending Bust, which is found here.

** The Land of the Free? The American Prison State with Dr. Daniel J. D'Amico **

Daniel D'Amico completed his Ph.D. at George Mason University and defended his dissertation, "The Imprisoner's Dilemma: The Political Economy of Proportionate Punishment," in May, 2008. He has received fellowships from the H.B. Earhart Foundation, the Ludwig von Mises Institute, the Mercatus Center and the Institute for Humane Studies. Professor D'Amico now teaches at Loyola University New Orleans.

FACT: One in every one hundred Americans today is behind bars.

Please read that again!!

How did this come to be?

Why is it that MORE people are incarcerated in the United States than in any other country? Does our society really produce that many people who deserve to be locked up? And, are we really safer with all this massive level of incarceration?

When you consider that a large number of these people are non-violent offenders, you have to ask: is this the best we can do?

Are there alternative systems to incarceration that would produce a safer, more harmonious and more peaceful society?

What would the effect of privatizing the police, for example, be?

Or privatizing the courts - and creating competitive courts?

Would we expect crime to increase and for more people to end up behind bars? Or, would it be the opposite?

Would we have a safer society with less people in prison? Could there even be real alternative to prison?

In this interview we will also discuss Dr. D'Amico's upcoming Mises Academy course, The American Prison State. This will certainly be a fascinating look at an important topic, the consequences of which affect us all either directly or indirectly. This 8-week course will be taught entirely ONLINE and begins on June 7, 2011. Find out more about it here.

** LIBERTY DEFINED: It is Time to Re-think Everything!! A BLOCKBUSTER INTERVIEW SHOW with Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell **

Dr. Ron Paul has tirelessly promoted the agenda of Peace, Prosperity and Freedom for decades. He is a Republican Congressman from Texas and is one of the most - if not the most - famous people in fight for Liberty.

Mr. Lew Rockwell, who is former Chief-of-Staff for Ron Paul, is the Founder and Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute (www.mises.org) and editor of LewRockwell.com (www.lewrockwell.com) which is one of the most visited websites in the world.

We are very fortunate to have these two Titans of Freedom to review and discuss Dr. Ron Paul's new book, Liberty Defined: 50 Issues That Affect Our Freedom.

Lew Rockwell says in his review of this landmark book:

The worst effect of the state is intellectual. It puts our brains in a prison, simply by defining the terms in which we are permitted to think and speak. The one nonnegotiable point becomes the state itself. You are permitted to argue about what the state's priorities ought to be (bombs or butter), but not to question the fundamental model of a state-dominated society. Believers in human liberty have played along with this game for too long.

Lew continues that in Dr. Paul's "amazing book" he addresses:

...the big themes about what liberty is and what it is not. It is not, for example, something that is created by "public policy." It is not a piece of legislation. It does not emerge from the political process. Precisely the opposite: liberty is the absence of all these things. It is what results in the absence of state interference. Liberty's only fundamental requirement is that the state let society alone to develop, grow, and prosper.

In this interview we discuss with Ron Paul:

**What can the US do to combat terror without engaging in costly wars that drain American blood and treasure on foreign soil?

**Why do we have Unsound Money, and whose fault is it that Americans are made poorer every year?

**How FDR's "Four Freedoms" radically perverted the concept of Rights and reduced Freedom in America even to this day!

**How government embraces the immoral concept of the "Noble Lie" and why government transparency is essential for Freedom.

**What is the REAL PROBLEM with Government? Is it its form or its size? Can Democracy still work? Or can it only work for smaller groups?

**And finally a vision of how we can see a Restoration of Liberty in our lifetime.

You won't want to miss this landmark event. Please tell all you care about to listen to this extraordinarily important interview on Radio Free Market.

This show is Created and Hosted by Special Commentators Mr. Drew Hjelm and Mr. Zach Halstead.

** From Solid Gold to Destructive Paper, the Twentieth Century Debacle of Transforming Money from Good to Bad, with Dr. Joseph Salerno**

Dr. Salerno is the academic vice president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute (www.mises.org), professor of economics at Pace University, and editor of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics. He is the author of Money: Sound and Unsound, a highly recommended book on money and economic history.

Can you imagine your money worth MORE year after year, instead of steadily losing its Purchasing Power - as we all see happening?

Can you imagine the same dollars buying more and your money's Store of Value Power improving year after year? This is exactly what Americans once experienced when our money was SOUND.

What happened to sound money? How did we go from good, stable money to terribly unstable fiat money in less than a century?

The classical gold standard provided a period of prosperity and monetary stability. But instead of maintaining prosperity and stability, all of the developed nations, during WWI, abandoned gold to go to war. And they never looked back!

The journey away from Sound Money to Manipulated Fiat Money has been a sordid tale that has wrought much suffering in the world.

Nations and their Central Banks adopted centrally manipulated money exchange standards that led to The Great Depression of the 1930's. They again imposed these manipulated "standards" in the 1970's  and it led to stagflation. Isn't insanity doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?

Dr. Salerno also explains the very sneaky accounting tricks the government uses to fudge the numbers which hides the REAL rate of price inflation.

Finally, he will explain how the unstable fiat currencies of the world are destroying Europe, Japan, China, - and America - and most importantly, how we can yet avoid catastrophe and return to Money that is sound, stable and the foundation of long lasting prosperity.

Please join us for this very important show that provides a comprehensive historical prospective on this vitally important topic.

This show was Created and is Hosted by Mr. Drew Hjelm who is joined by a Special Commentator, Mr. Zach Halstead, who is the president of the Austrian Economics Club at the University of Iowa.

** Planned Poverty: The Gift of Government Intervention ** with Mr. Jeffrey Tucker

Mr. Tucker is the editorial vice president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and the current webmaster for the institute's website, Mises.org. Mr. Tucker is also an adjunct scholar with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and an Acton University faculty member. He has written numerous articles and written several books including Bourbon for Breakfast.

Why and how does the government and politicians stop and even REVERSE economic growth?

Sustainability, buy local, fair trade - these all mean the same thing - everything is going to get more expensive, and you are going to have fewer choices in every area of life.

Why is there a drive to move society backwards in terms of living standards and a romanticization of hunter-gatherer days?

Jeffrey Tucker presents to us the source of this pernicious trend.

Are you responsible enough to choose your own lightbulb?

The government doesn't think so. Nor does the government think the American people are responsible enough to choose their own toilets, their own cough medicine, or their own cleaning products.

Is the government causing a bedbug epidemic?

Scientists are baffled. Austrian economists are not. By restricting your free choices in buying the kind of mattress you prefer the regulators have caused an outbreak in bedbug infestations all across America. 

Is the government holding out a big sign to drug dealers that says "SELL METH, YOU'LL MAKE TONS OF MONEY!"? 

Jeffrey Tucker will tell you how politicians are causing an explosion in methamphetamine production and expanding the drug trade.

How do government regulators make Americans sick and keep them that way? 

Through restriction of choices in plumbing, recycling, medicine and food. This show is a Grade A example of unintended consequences as a result of CENTRAL CONTROL.

This show will put all the economic knowledge you have accumulated to good use, as you will see REAL-WORLD examples of the unintended consequences of government  intervention - and know WHY CENTRAL PLANNING INEVITABLY causes these disasters to occur. 

With Radio Free Market Show Creator, Producer and Co-Host, Mr. Aaron Brown.

** Radicals for Peace, Prosperity and Freedom: Answering 10 Objections to Libertarian Anarchism with Dr. Roderick Long **

As we see that governments are running out of money anyway, it is very timely for us to carefully examine how very little The State may actually be needed at all.

With Show Producer and Co-Host Mr. Luke McGrath and Radio Free Market Founder, Michael McKay.

Dr. Klein ia a Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri, Columbia and is a Former Member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors. Peter will discuss the challenges of including Austrian Economic Principles (which we at Radio Free Market refer to as 'Reality Economics' because Reality is not Optional) into the Business & Entrepreneurship Classes for his Undergraduate, Graduate and Phd Candidates.

Since the Whole of Academia is deeply imbued with Keynesian-Central-Planning-Dogma, How much do Students need to UN-Learn, and are the Basic Principles presented by Austrian/ Reality Economics even getting through to them?

Also: What insights can he give us from his experience serving on the President's Council of Economic Advisers?

Can Austrian Economics help young Entrepreneurs better prepare for the World they are about to enter?

He'll wrap up his interview with a fascinating discussion on The Rise of the Internet.

These wide ranging themes are a first for Radio Free Market and illustrate the broad application of Austrian Economic Theory to the world in which we live and work. This is a very unique and enjoyable interview.

**LIVE CALL IN SHOW: The REAL LINCOLN with Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo** Dr Dilorenzo, Professor of Economics at Loyola University in Maryland, is the author of The Real Lincoln, Lincoln Unmasked and How Capitalism Saved America.

This interview will have the effect of changing most of our listeners lives - permanently. Abraham Lincoln enjoys almost Saint Status in our American Culture. We have all been taught that Honest Abe is to be blindly revered - and indeed he is. But does he deserve this stature?

In one of our most important shows Dr DiLorenzo tells us the Complete and Quite Shocking Story and Corrects the Longstanding Myths held by most Americans about Lincoln.  You will learn How Lincoln Centralized Power to the Federal government at the Permanent Expense of Free Speech, Civilian Lives, Hard Money, Habeas Corpus, and Free Trade. You will learn Why and How the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's disastrous actions changed US and 19th century World politics toward More Powerfully Centralized governments -- the effects of which we are reeling from yet today.

We will also discuss the new upcoming course that Dr DiLorenzo will be teaching ONLINE that we at Radio Free Market highly recommend all listeners enroll in. This 6-week Mises Academy course, The Great Centralizer: Lincoln and the Growth of Statism, begins on January 18 2011.

** Vitally Important NEW Interview** How To Create New Jobs - For Real, with Dr. Walter Block

Dr Block is one of the most important and eminent scholars of our time. He is a Professor of Economics at Loyola University in New Orleans, a Senior Fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute and the author of the classic book 'Defending The Undefendable'.  

Are Jobs the most important thing? Walter explains why the focus on creating jobs is the wrong focus.  Instead the focus needs to be on Production, for which 'jobs' are needed.

What about the Minimum Wage? Does that help or hurt new entrants into the Job Market? Does this explain why we have 50+% Unemployment among Black Teenagers?

And what about Unions? We will discuss how Public Employee Unions, in particular, have created a gigantic threat to our economy TODAY that is going to affect your quality of life very soon. 

This interview present a Starting Point and Foundational Understanding on this all important topic of Employment and is so rich that we have decided to extend it into a second interview with Dr Block in the near future. I encourage all listeners to take notes and listen to this show more than once. Please tell all your friends and family about it.

**The Real Middle East Crisis: Who is the Threat and Who Should Be Trusted? ** An interview with Eric Margolis.

The US Government and media constantly tells us that Iran is the Biggest Threat to Middle East peace; but is it?  Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Arabs polled name the US as the major threat to Arab safety, while eighty-eight percent (88%) name Israel.* Who is right?
What do the people in the Middle East KNOW and NOT KNOW? An astounding ninety-two percent (92%) of Afghan males polled Know Nothing of the 9/11 attacks?**

In this important interview Margolis explains why the US should be hesitant to foment war with not only Iran, but Yemen, Pakistan and other turbulent countries.
