the liberalism, voltaire and adam smith, the blessed adam smith, jon stewart mills, who believed they key to a good society, and prosperous society was to let people have a go as the english say. and that persists in modern libertarianism. what is different is that some of these modern libertarians, especially the americans, how can you say, they are somewhat harsh. i called in brotherly, whereas my kind of liberalism or libertarianism is sisterly, in the sense that it want to include love among the virtues that a society ought to be interested in. whereas my male colleagues among libertarians tend to say no, all we need is maximizing profits, don't tell me about love. you can't possibly have an opinion, as i purposely and sticking them in the eye like my first book was called bourgeois virtues. sounds like a contradiction in terms. second one was called bourgeois dignity, how can that be. bourgeois equality, how can that be right? i think all three opinions are wrong. you could be ethical. you could be encouraging human dignity and you can achieve income equality through what we unfo

keynesian so adams smith advocated for sound money anti-inflation gold standard type of policy, very limited government as the french called it. he called it the system of national liberty, balanced budgets, free trade. now he would probably be less free trade as most economists are but not an advocate of balanced budgets especially during that visit during the recession. so he's more of a inflation rest and interventionist so i would be curious did they give a reason why? >> host: we were talking about milton friedman. he said he thought that paul would've beewould have been more milton friedman camp than perhaps a libertarian. >> we had him here to debate steve moore and he's kind of an interesting person because his background is in classical economics and john's wort mills is his favorite economist and he's written a biography of high afghan friedman so you would think he would be in that camp, but he's drifted in a lot of ways. i think he's been affected by the purple kool-aid a little bit there wa but it was a rather progressive tax and o of course molten friedman and hayek and

i'm adam smith, a historian of america, and in this programme, i'm going to investigate what film noirst between corrupt city and innocent small town, can tell us about america today. after 1945, americans moved to the cities, and especially the booming suburbs, in huge numbers. many of them found what they were looking for, but there was also this sense that they had lost the sense of the community they had had in the small towns they'd left behind. so film noir is not only about the city. it also plays on the contrast with the small town. against this innocent background, the dodgy, sophisticated incomers from the cities stand out. in some film noirs, the small town is the place you run to to try to escape your past. and it's where your enemies from the city catch you running a gas station. that is what happens to robert mitchum's character, jeff bailey, in out of the past. in the 1940s, america was becoming the land of the car, and that meant it was getting harder and harderfor small towns to be the isolated islands they had once been. if you wanted to avoid marauders from the citie

i don't think a lot of us understand the counterintuitive idea of adam smith. millions of people pursuing their own interests, doing their own thing and actually creating more positive society, better organize society that a few people planning for everybody. that is counterintuitive. i don't know how you see that and you talk to a lot of people on your show and you talk to millions of people but how do we deal with this counterintuitive argument when a lot of people are making laws supposedly on our side and don't seem to understand how americanism works? >> guest: because we never talk about it. we don't talk about what you just mentioned. i would say to the american people which handle a politician you think are so smart that they can understand and run the healthcare system? unless none of them are doctors almost none of them have worked in hospitals and where do they get their genius from prospect where do they get the professionalism from? nowhere. they're advancing an ideology, a theory. they are trying to impose it on us. that is what is going on. the p

well believe it or not the classical economics of adam smith john stuart mill. thorstein veblen all in the nineteenth century they had a very clear idea of how to run an economy you want to provide you want to manufacture more you want to protect the environment which they did discuss but you don't want people to get a free lunch but today's economy is all about getting a free lunch and it's about really making capital gains rich people don't make a profit that's leona helmsley principle only the poor people pay taxes rich people make capital gains trumps give tax giveaway means that these capital gains that do not stem from new investment but stem basically from debt leverage ng are made tax exempt so it's unbelievable he's he's promoting parasite as them instead of promoting the economy the host economy as a whole you know well it makes perfect sense given the you know that has been how he has made his fortune his inter life professor michael hudson it's great having you with us thank you so much good to be here again thank you coming in coming up donald trump

free markets would imply that prices are dictated by buyers or sellers in the marketplace from adam smith'sconcept of the invisible hand going all the way back to the enlightenment that's a mankind and humanity out of the medieval king ruling monarchy days into individual more individual sovereignty and democratic principles but what's happened is that we live in an era of central banks and central banks have become the new rulers the new monarchs the new potentates the new poll of euro and they don't let free market work at a very fundamental level they don't let the price of money be determined by their free markets so that's why i set up mesh take it from there bish. well we've got a negative interest rate we should never happen in the real world out something like forty percent of the world's soured bonds trade with negative you know absolutely freaking gravy and then there's this whole idea that rising prices offer a benefit to everyone is easily missed proves you just stop and think for a second of everything was for a then everyone would add everything they want. so do. oh in prices

dug-in to this and it took me toolkit cicero and aristotle and even some of the contemporaries like adam smith and so forth. what the term americanism means to spend time on the is even though they did not agree with every single nuance the revolutionary war >> what does americanism mean?. >> we will get into this but the declaration of independence. those of the most critical words in the declaration of independence like natural law that from my experience never discussed or debated the yet that was the core. and with this other movement if you look at the declaration of independence the most formal consensus position and there they were and day wanted to make a public declaration to the entire world of what it was they were doing. so with that second continental convention they debated and discussed that. but of course, the original draft was jefferson. before that the virginia and a declaration of rights that they borrowed from john lot. with that massachusetts declaration. all-star all identical of referring to do unalienable rights. so we are hoping to be excited handedness pirated invigo

people think adam smith's book is called wealth of nations. that's not the title. wealth of nations. inspired by newton, the principle that the universe is governed by natural laws, we can apply that not just to the physical world, but the social and economic world. there must be a better way to govern people for all of us to live for more of us to have more prosperity, more freedom, more autonomy, and for three centuries we've been applying the methods of science and reason to solving more problems, and the moral sphere keeps expanding, the arc keeps bending. more of us are better off than we've ever been. despite what you see in the news, don't forget to look at the long-term trends. john: a final example, murder rates. we think there's more murder now but, in fact, over time they've plummeted. in prehistoric times, a thousand per 100,000 people per year. in the middle ages, 100. in the 1700s, 10. today in america 5. >> and 1, less than 1 in europe. so the chances of you dying violently have gone down a thousandfold in the last thousand years. there's never been

from our westminster studio is sam bowman, executive director of the free market think tank the adam smith are against any form of migration control. certainly what has been proposed today is going to hurt public services in the uk and hurt public services in the uk and hurt the economy in general. we know that european union immigrants paid more in taxes than they cost the state and lots of very important public services like the nhs and school services rely on workers from europe to make ends meet. if we make it just is difficult europe to make ends meet. if we make itjust is difficult to employ people from europe as it is to employ people from outside of europe, we are in for much, much higher costs for public services, lower receipts for the exchequer and a lot of bureaucracy for british businesses. do you sympathise with politicians who, there has been a vote, this was very much part of that boat? it needs to be clear that we voted to leave the european union, perhaps part of that was ending freedom of movement, but there are only two options, freedom of movement for a very heart immi

i'm very thankful that adam smith, the ranking member of the armed services -- house armed services committee, together with you and other colleagues, have called upon the president to deploy to puerto rico a military task force. the military is the most organized of all of our federal organizations. they have the ability, they have the resources and they certainly have the capability of addressing at least the immediate needs of puerto rico and the virgin islands and even other islands that have been devastated in the caribbean. ultimately, the -- it falls to to of us who are elected represent the american people, the presidency, house of representatives or in the senate. and the question we must ask ourselves -- are we meeting our responsibilities? are we deploying the resources of this nation to assist in these devastated communities? are we providing the funding necessary to carry out these tasks? or, are we engaged in legislation that would create a health care disaster on top of the natural disasters? well, thankfully it appears as though four senators have stopped a republican effort i

his name is adam smith, and he's famous for the followowing linene: "if everybody pursues his or her own self-interesest, it'll w work ot for the best for everybody." most of you know that that's silly. it's a wonderful rationale to go out there and do what you want for yourself and not care about anybody else, but where that leads is exactly where we are... in a very, very bad crisis. so, let's begin by analyzing this crisis as the crisis of a system. and we'll go on to talk about this system even when it's not in cririsis, because that's as big a problem as the crisis itselelf. but crisis is where we are. 2012 is the fifth year of this crisis. what does that mean? first and foremost, it means that we have in the united states today something on the order of 20 million to 25 million people who either don't have a job at all, have been without a job long enough that they've given up looking-- so-called discouraged workers-- or folks who have to take a part-time job because that's all they can find, but they would like to have a full-time job. the bureau of labor statistics in washing
