The Gist - To Pathologize, Or Not To Pathologize?

“Neurodivergent” is an important term in the modern study of the human brain, referring to those whose minds function differently from what we would consider “normal”—people diagnosed with ADHD or autism might be considered neurodivergent, for example. But, just as the term is important, it, and what it represents, is also somewhat controversial. Today on the show, a civil debate between Devon Price and Freddie DeBoer, two experts in this field, about the social and medical approaches to neurodiversity. Also, is forgiving student debt fair? Depends on who you ask.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Hayek Program Podcast - “Jan Tinbergen (1903-1994) and the Rise of Economic Expertise” Book Panel

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a book panel discussion of Erwin Dekker's book, Jan Tinbergen (1903-1994) and the Rise of Economic Expertise. In it, Dekker argues that Tinbergen's crucial contribution is the theory of economic policy and the legitimation of economic expertise in service of the state. It traces his youthful socialist ideals which found political direction in the Plan-socialist movement of the 1930s for which he developed new economic models to combat the Great Depression. The book then turns to an examination of his attempt to repeat this achievement in the development projects in the Global South and at the international level for the United Nations. Peter Boettke moderates the book panel, with contributions from panelists:

  • Sandra Peart, Dean of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond
  • Michele Alacevich, Associate Professor of Economic History and the History of Economic Thought at Bologna University

In recent decades, more and more individuals and communities have deployed a new (or very, very old) approach to sustainable life on Earth: a system called permaculture. But what is it, exactly?
