333. The Fiat Trap with Nicolas Cary
07/07/2026 | 54 mins.
Saifedean joins Nick Carey to discuss money as a civilizational force: why mainstream economics has an inflation blind spot, how banks "mine" fiat through credit creation, why the rich hold negative fiat balances to acquire hard assets, and how inflation funds war, corrodes morality, and raises time preference.

30/06/2026 | 1h 38 mins.
Lecture 17 of Principles of Economics explores the economics of defense as a market good rather than a uniquely governmental function, how law and order emerge through voluntary provision, the failure modes inherent of the state's monopoly over defense & law, and what a free market in defense would look like.

23/06/2026 | 35 mins.
In this interview with Mario Nawfal, Saifedean presents the Misesian case against Israel, and argues the only way to understand the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is that it is the result of the denial of property rights for Palestinians based purely on their not belonging to the ruling ethnoreligious group.
