Mario Rizzo — 2022 Markets & Society Conference Keynote

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a keynote from the 2022 Markets & Society conference given by Mario Rizzo, a Distinguished Affiliated Fellow with the Hayek Program and Professor of Economics at New York University. In his keynote, Rizzo makes the case for noted psychologist William James as a classic example of anti-paternalism. He provides examples of James's anti-paternalism and examines the underlying factors which influenced his views. Rizzo also makes the case for why classical liberals should consider the work of William James as opposed to the modern influence of behavioralism in public policy.If you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!
