Praxeology: The Study of Human Action with Knut Svanholm (WiM332)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Invisible Hand That Feeds You
Knutes Von Hone: I'm holding in my hands your latest book. It's the first one that isn't necessarily about Bitcoin. And this one is about paxiology, which is the study of human action. The subtitle here is the invisible hand that feeds you. Some might say it's the hand of God.
Knut Svanholm joins me to discuss the nature of human action, what is money, the inadequacy of our language, and the incentives of Bitcoin.
Knut Svanholm is an author, former tall ship sailor, singer, and crew manager at an offshore shipping company.
