Jeffrey A. Tucker is a well-known libertarian author, economist and Editorial Director for the American Institute for Economic Research. He was spiritus movens of Great Barrington Declaration, he's been firmly anti-lockdown since the beginning of pandemic.

Pandemic and unprecedented government actions taken to prevent it might have inflationary consequences in the future. After the WWII we at least tried to pay back debts, right now there are no plans like that - says Arnold Kling, economist who worked for Federal Reserve.

Richard Vedder, a distinguished Professor of Economics at Ohio University in Athens, speaks on the dangers regarding the growth of the government in crisis. Sadly it nevers comes back to its pre-crisis size. Every additional dollar collected in taxes contributes to more than a dollar increase in public spending.

Professor David Friedman, son of Milton Friedman, is even more radical than his father - he is an anarchocapitalist. But this talk is not about anarchism. It's about US politics, power of Big Tech, Black Lives Matter movement and the concept of sustainable growth.

Some libertarians are talkers. Well, most of them. But there are doers, too. Vít Jedlička, a Czech political activist decided to take matters into his own hands and created his own state - Liberland. It's located between Serbia and Croatia and it is still fighting for international recognition. It's designed to be a minarchist state with as minimal government as possible.

Prof. Bryan Caplan, economist from George Mason University, explains why education is (mostly) waste of your time and money. In his view education is about signalling rather than human capital.  It's the process that matters, not its content - your future employers will see your diploma as a proof you are patient, obedient and smart enough to effectively do your job not as  proof of your professional skills.Here's a book prof. Caplan wrote on this topichttps://www.amazon.com/Case-against-Education-System-Waste/dp/0691174652Video version on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5BvMfVbxmw

W drugim odcinku serii „Kulawi władcy” dokumentujemy przypadki korupcji na najwyższych szczeblach wspomnianych organizacji. Karmienie dyktatur, transfer środków do wybranych korporacji, czy wspieranie konkretnej agendy ideologicznej okazują się tam częstymi praktykami. „Kulawi władcy” to cykl pięciu filmów dokumentalnych, w których przyjrzeliśmy się międzynarodowym instytucjom powołanym do rozwiązywania problemów tego świata: likwidacji biedy, zapewnienia pokoju między narodami, czy zwiększania poziomu dobrobytu. Wzniosłe hasła, które przyświecają takim organizacjom, często nie przekładają się na rzeczywistości. Trawi je korupcja, nieefektywność, biurokracja, czy upolitycznienie. Nasza seria wskazuje na konieczność zreformowania kluczowych instytucji międzynarodowych tak, by były bardziej demokratyczne, przejrzyste i lepiej służyły swoim nominalnym celom. Wydaje nam się, że dyskusja na ten temat nie jest obecnie wystarczająca i nikt nie prowadzi aktywnych działań naprawczych. Tymczasem w świecie borykającym się z poważnymi globalnymi wyzwaniami, jest to konieczność.
