This book by Carl Menger came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Javier Milei. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“another book that was a very significant influence and impact on me was the principles of political economics by manger it was truly eye openening”— Javier Milei
The guest here is Javier Milei: President of Argentina, an economist and self-described anarcho-capitalist who campaigned wielding a chainsaw to symbolize cutting state bureaucracy. He took office in late 2023 with the country on the brink of hyperinflation and roughly 50% poverty. Argentina's anarcho-capitalist president Javier Milei details his radical free-market reforms, war on corruption, and philosophy of freedom.
