[video clip] >> tiny steps at a time, are we headed toward a more personal liberty or are we headed toward more government control over our lives? you would have to -- it would have to unambiguously be the latter. i did not see a trend in the other direction, more liberty and less government control over our lives. the ultimate and to this process is totalitarianism. host: you wrote a tribute call them to him. what was his influence on you as an economist? ms. lemke: many of his students did write tributes, which i think speaks to how great of an impact he had. i listened to that full hour he did on q&a earlier in the week, and he is truly one of the great economic communicators and an incredibly talented economist and he brought that enthusiasm to the classroom. it is due to them that you see so many economists coming out of george mason university who aren't really

it is housed on the campus of george mason university.s an independent research organization, we don't have partisan affiliations or particular research directives, but the group by men, the research group i am in is the highest program for advanced study in philosophy, politics and economics. and this is a research group that is focused on what we call mainline political economy. so the work in economics and political science and all social science is the deal with these big questions of wealth and poverty and triumph and struggle, we work with multiple disciplines and with students across the country to try to address these and to try to do the best we can to capture some of the wisdom from centuries of social science, to try to better understand the human condition. host: who is the one after which your program is named? jayme lemke: one of the most famous and most impactful economists of the 20th century. he is probably most famous for his work explaining the price system and the importance of prices to enable the economy to operate.
