Capitalism & Space Economics with Dr. Charles Steele | Unregulated #6

The MacIver Institute's Michael Lucas is joined by economist Dr. Charles Steele of Hillsdale College to discuss his Hillsdale College Online Course, Understanding Capitalism, and space economics!

The MacIver Institute's Michael Lucas is joined by economist Dr. Charles Steele of Hillsdale College to discuss his Hillsdale College Online Course, and forthcoming book by the same name, Understanding Capitalism. They also discuss the budding field of space economics, and how colonizing the solar system could positively impact humanity.

Dr. Steele earned his PhD in Economics from New York University (at the time, the longest graduate program in the world at 9 years!) under the guidance of Israel Kirzner––one of the greatest economists of all time.

Steele taught economics in many different countries––including Russia, Ukraine, and China––before coming to Hillsdale where he now serves as the head of the EBA department. He teaches many classes, but is the exclusive professor for the History of Economic Thought and Austrian Economics II courses.
