In this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear part one of a conversation between Peter Boettke & Rosolino Candela on the science and art of economics.  Candela draws on his experience from growing up in an immigrant family to discuss how it shaped his views on cultural integration in economics.

The Science and Art of Economics with Peter Boettke & Rosolino Candela, Pt. 1

The Hayek Program Podcast includes audio from lectures, interviews, and discussions of  scholars and visitors from the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. The F. A. Hayek Program is devoted to the promotion of teaching and research on the institutional arrangements that are suitable for the support of free and prosperous societies. Implicit in this statement is the presumption that those arrangements are to some extent open to conscious selection, as well as the appreciation that the type of arrangements that are selected within a society can influence significantly the economic, political, and moral character of that society.

The Hayek Program Podcast is partially funded by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation on "Work, Self-governance, and the Challenge of Unsustainable Dependency." The Grant is for a three-year project to explore the themes of work and self-governance as well as the root causes and consequences of the modern shift toward a greater reliance on government efforts to solve collective challenges.
