Show Notes
"We are taught that the state builds our economy, but the reality is that every act of intervention is an act of wealth destruction." Max Hillebrand joins the show to tear down the Keynesian fallacies that keep us in a cycle of manufactured poverty and systemic theft.

One of your best episodes, and I listen to many if not most. Max is a easy listen who also makes enormous points , for example, at about one hour and five minutes you began a simply wonderful portion on value and socialism challenging private property… really good stuff, Danny.

I don't always listen to podconf podcasts but when I do, it's because someone like @npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt is reminding me the value of prices and free markets. Great episode. #40hpw

Would you give this economic model for a small UBI for all citizens a read please. It’s not an income replacement, rather an enhancement for all. Something to smooth over the transition AI is going to cause. Your critical eye would be welcome. Cheers. WTF https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/posts/160333861?utm_ca…

I knew I’d enjoy this conversation as soon as Danny opened with a question about people who say “I don’t care about privacy, I’m doing nothing wrong”. For someone who cares about privacy this has got to be up there with the most frustrating things to hear. Listened to this episode earlier and and just sat down to watch it. Great episode, thanks for putting it out there.
