This seminar focuses on the economics of energy. How does the economic way of thinking help us understand the energy market, and recent events like the California blackouts. I discuss the content of the economics of energy chapter in my forthcoming textbook, Principles of Economics, and how marginal analysis can help us understand the limitations of unreliable energy sources, as well as the world's continued reliance on hydrocarbons for energy.Enjoyed this episode?

Main points on Monarchy vs Democracy:1. Time preference2. Security of property3. War4. Democracy has perverse selection5. Democracy legitimates government6. Kings don't owe anybody anything7. Rise of civilizations under monarchyRelevant quote from Hoppe: "Traditional monarchies only resemble dictatorships superficially. Instead, dictatorships are a regular outgrowth of mass democracy. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao were distinctly democratic rulers as compared to the former Emperors of Russia, Germany, Austria, and China. Indeed, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao (and almost all of their smaller and lesser known successors) were outspoken in their hatred of everything monarchic and aristocratic. They knew that they owed their rise to democratic mass politics, and they employed democratic politics (elections, referenda, mass rallies, mass media propaganda, etc.) throughout their reign."Further Readings:Hoppe, Democracy: The God That FailedHoppe, Political Economy of Monarchy and DemocracyHoppe, The Myth of National DefenseErik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Monarchy and WarLeland Yeager, A Libertarian Case for Monarchy Enjoyed this episode?
