About Us
Your Host, Michael McKay
Michael has been a life long student of how the world works and, specifically, what incentives and motivations cause people to choose to cooperate in harmony with each other - or not. This naturally led him to study the integration of Economics, History, Law and, in particular, Ethics which Michael considers the foundation of Law and Economics. It is Michael's thesis that together these form our Human Ecology.
As Ludwig von Mises said,
"...all problems are linked to one another. In dealing with any part of the body of knowledge one deals actually with the whole. Economics ... invariably deals with all the phenomena of action."
For the past decade Michael has deeply studied and vocally advocated ‘Reality Economics’, a term he coined for what academics call ‘Austrian Economics’.
Michael believes we have entered an era where reality is not optional. Understanding this development is required of everyone wishing to survive, and ultimately prosper, in this climate of economic transformation.
Michael is the founder of RadioFreeMarket.com

Special Commentator, Zoe Russell
Zoe is a recent graduate of Auburn University in Business Economics. One of her college courses - on Free Market Economics - sparked an interest in Markets and how they work better when government is less involved, or not involved at all. Zoe attended Mises University 2009 and continues to study How Money Systems Work, The Financial Markets, How Government Awarded Monopoly Reduces Economic Growth and Why Non-Interventionist Government Policies promote wider prosperity for all.
