Two of my great mentors are Ron Baker and Ed Kless, from whom I’ve learned so much about how to think about business (not to mention they’re fun people to be around). It was a pleasure to be on their internet radio show Soul of Enterprise (and whose name I suspect is connected to a talk they once suggested I read called The Soul of Silicon by George Gilder, and which blew me away).

In this episode, we chatted about a book I had started reading, entitled An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought by Murray N. Rothbard. (2 volumes) I’m actually still in the midst of reading the book since it’s so densely packed with history and insights, but we chatted about the origins of economics, the different theories of where value comes from over the years, how ideas and thought influence action, how value and accounting mix, and more.

You can listen to the audio right from page for Episode 145, as well as subscribe to their podcast in iTunes.

And don’t forget to check out The Soul of Enterprise’s website, their VoiceAmerica internet radio page, and the VeraSage website for more great resources.
