Kibbe believes that honest conversations, driven by intellectual curiosity and mutual respect, can ignite a new revolution of free thinking and a willingness to question the official narrative. That means talking, and listening, to a wide variety of people outside the echo chamber of officially sanctioned experts. Kibbe on Liberty's guests include politicians, economists, musicians, comedians, writers, radio personalities, activists, journalists, and even magicians—with topics of conversation ranging from current affairs to obscure philosophy, from craft beer to the Grateful Dead. Cold one in hand, settle in for the next brain-stimulating hour of Kibbe on Liberty. As the president of Free the People, Kibbe has decades of experience in the libertarian political sphere. He is the author of three books, including Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff, a #2 NY Times Best Seller. Kibbe is a fanatical DeadHead, drinker of great whisky, and collector of obscure books on Austrian economics.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-11T06:20:07.000361+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266"},"episode":{"title":"Ep 388 | Economists Have to Keep Teaching the Same Lessons | Guests: James Harrigan & Antony Davies","slug":"ep-388-economists-have-to-keep-teaching-the-same-lessons-guests-james-harrigan-antony-davies","published_at":"2026-05-27T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266/ep-388-economists-have-to-keep-teaching-the-same-lessons-guests-james-harrigan-antony-davies","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pfx.vpixl.com/4V6da/arttrk.com/p/BLZM1/verifi.podscribe.com/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/285/pscrb.fm/rss/p/chrt.fm/track/1655CF/cohst.app/pdcst/5I2S5F/traffic.megaphone.fm/BMDC9472468333.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pfx.vpixl.com/4V6da/arttrk.com/p/BLZM1/verifi.podscribe.com/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/285/pscrb.fm/rss/p/chrt.fm/track/1655CF/cohst.app/pdcst/5I2S5F/traffic.megaphone.fm/BMDC9472468333.mp3","summary":"It's the economy, stupid! Rising prices, stagnant wages, and poor job growth affect everyone, and everyone is quick to notice when the economy isn't performing well. But these are not insoluble problems, and in fact, economists have been shouting the solutions from the rooftops for decades, if only somebody would listen. Matt Kibbe is joined by James Harrigan and Antony Davies, hosts of the \"Words and Numbers\" podcast, to bemoan the fact that every new generation forgets the economic lessons of the past. Like Sisyphus doomed to roll a stone uphill forever, it is the curious task of economists to keep explaining that you can't bring about prosperity through high taxes, restricted trade, deficit spending, and endless money printing. It's not all bad news, however, as \"Words and Numbers\" will now be distributed by Free the People, giving more people the opportunity to separate economic sense from nonsense!","meta_description":"It's the economy, stupid!
