Hayek's Community of Free Men: A Vision for Global Governance and Defending Liberty-Marcos Falcone
Manage episode 341932398 series 3361226
In this episode, Ethan speaks with AIER's Harwood Visiting Fellow, Marcos Falcone, about Friedrich Hayek's ideas on foreign relations. Falcone's notable research on the topic includes writing an award-winning paper on Hayek's vision for a liberal international community. Although the noble laureate is best known for his economic ideas, he also applied his insights toward imagining a framework for defending liberty on the world stage. Hayek fuses two important but competing ideas, the limitations of central planning and the need for a strong military, economic, and diplomatic capacity to contain autocratic actors. His vision hopes to create a new international institution that is more effective than the United Nations, less bureaucratic than the European Union, and more comprehensive than NATO.
Falcone hails from Argentina, where he is deeply involved in advocating for classical liberal ideas in Latin America. He received his undergraduate degree from Torcuato Di Tella University and a Masters in Social Science from the University of Chicago.
