"In socialist countries, it is not the seller who has to be grateful. It is the buyer. The citizen is not the boss. The boss is the central committee, the central office. Those socialist committees and leaders and dictators are supreme, and the people simply have to obey them." In this Austrian Audible episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker reads Lecture 2: SOCIALISM, from Economic Policy: Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow by Ludwig von Mises, AKA Mises Six Lessons Each of the six Mises lectures will be released as it's own episode in the coming weeks.
