012 - Josef Tětek: Enemies of the State, Friends of Liberty & Bitcoin

This is the 2nd iteration of my series of conversations recorded in Prague and today I am I am talking with Josef Tětek. Josef is an author, educator and founder of the Slovak Ludwig Von Mises institute. He also hosts the popular Czech podcast Stackuj which is a show about Bitcoin, money and freedom. Josef’s background in Austrian economics and political philosophy informs the majority of our conversation and we start off by having an interesting discussion about the private provision of public goods and the various incarnations of this model that have existed around the world. Josef makes particular reference to ‘BB Centrum’ which is a privately owned public neighbourhood not far from where we were recording the podcast in Prague. Other topics discussed include social engineering, the evolution and dissolution of the state, digital gulags and Josef reports on what he discovered about monetary colonialism during a recent trip to the African Bitcoin Conference in Ghana. This was another extremely fascinating conversation from the Czech Republic. Look our for more of them on the show over the next few weeks and if you are enjoying our content please leave us a review on your podcasting app and many thanks in advance.
