I recently did this podcast with the Austrian Economics Institut in Vienna. I would like to draw attention to my discussion of the pivotal role that a 5 tool player (in this instance I highlight Ben Powell, see min 55) and to my appeal to the creative and curious among the younger generation to accept the invitation to inquiry that is is Austrian economics and developed along their own lines (see min 59:30).
I hope you find the discussion worth listening. My colleague Larry White does the podcast the following week on the future of Money.
Pete, I agree with you that "the whole thing went south" with the rise of Keynesian economics instead of Austrian economics. In this regard, I want to alert you to a recent co-authored publication of mine, offering an alternative explanation of Hayek's abandonment of capital theory in 1941 (something you touched on in the interview video above)to the one given by Bruce Caldwell in his well-known publication "Hayek's Transformation." Here is a link to my paper for your convenient reference: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-the-history-of-economic-thought/article/abs/retrospective-look-at-the-hayek-story-roundaboutness-sticky-consumption-and-sequestered-capital/18C74DC3B684E4679B696076D1C67C56
