The host of EJW Audio is Lawrence H. White, a co-editor of EJW and professor of economics at George Mason University.
In a typical EJW Audio podcast, Professor White and the author of a recent EJW article discuss that article and related issues.
Geijer (1783–1847) is rediscovered with the new book Freedom in Sweden: Selected Works of Erik Gustaf Geijer (2017). The editor Björn Hasselgren here discusses Geijer’s life and works, including the wonderful “An Economic Dream,” reprinted in EJW.
Drawing on his paper coauthored with Xingyuan Feng and Weisen Li, Evan Osborne discusses the history and current trends of liberal thought and policy reform in China.
Jeff Hummel discusses Kenneth Rogoff’s The Curse of Cash. Hummel’s review of the book, along with a response from Rogoff, appeared in the May 2017 issue of EJW.
Iceland’s leading liberal Hannes Gissurarson tells of the history of liberalism in Iceland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, based on his contribution to the series Classical Liberalism in Econ, by Country.
Drawing on his EJW article, Daniel Schwekendiek discusses how South Korea has used export strategies to deal with corruption, first in industry and later in academia.
Alberto Mingardi discusses liberalism in Italy, from the unification period (1860s) to the present, based on his contribution to the now 13-article series “Classical Liberalism in Econ, by Country.”
Drawing on his EJW article coauthored with Lars Jonung, Benny Carlson discusses the remarkable tradition of public discourse actuated by the five titans of Swedish economics, Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel, Eli Heckscher, Bertil Ohlin, and Gunnar Myrdal. Carlson touches on the great liberal economist Anders Chydenius (1729–1803), and, since Myrdal’s time, on the prominent Swedish economists aligned with Wicksell’s own avowed calling, to educate the Swedish people.
Erwin Dekker and Stefan Kolev have provided in EJW a first-ever English translation of a remarkable 1891 essay by Carl Menger. In this podcast Dekker discusses the essay, adding context drawn from his own studies (represented by his book The Viennese Students of Civilization: The Meaning and Context of Austrian Economics Reconsidered), to aid in understanding Menger’s times and his legacy.
Apropos Friedrich Hayek’s essay “The Meaning of Competition,” Frank M. Machovec discusses his book Perfect Competition and the Transformation of Economics (Routledge, 1995).
Sam Fleischacker discusses the impartial spectator and the role it plays in Adam Smith’s moral system, based on his contribution to the EJW symposium “My Understanding of Adam Smith's Impartial Spectator.”
