On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke & Scott Beaulier discuss the topic of academic entrepreneurship as Scott shares experiences from his career in colleges and univerisities across the globe. Scott's humble beginnings in northern Michigan intially had him convinced he was heading towards a career as a McDonalds manager, until an economics class with David Prychitko awakened a desire for higher education within him. Scott describes his journey through the world of academia and the lessons he's learned along the way. Additionally, the pair recall Scott's time researching the economies of the Czech Republic and Botswana and the insights drawn from this research.

The Gist - Outside-The-Box-Kind-Of-Guy Alex Jones

Last night’s Ohio Senate debate featured JD Vance denying his assessment of Alex Jones as credible and an interesting thinker. Vance is still up big, and he’ll probably win. Also, a Floridan voter is handcuffed so Ron DeSantis can make a point. He’s also up big. Probably will win. Plus, Richard Reeves returns to discuss his book, Of Boys And Men, and the challenge of proposing solutions when doing so might mark you as picking the wrong side in a struggle toward progress.

Consider This from NPR - Ongoing Protests In Iran Echo A Century-Old Revolution

It's been more than a month since 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died after being detained by Iran's morality police – allegedly for breaking the rule requiring women to wear a hijab. Her death sparked protests that continue to this day.

Women and girls have been at the forefront of the demonstrations, often removing and burning their hijabs in defiance of the authorities.

We hear from some of the protesters themselves. And we talk to Iranian-American writer Reza Aslan, who tells us that what we are seeing today echoes a revolution that took place in Iran more than a century ago.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
