Bob Murphy joins me to discuss (and critique) the Coase Theorem, which purports to solve an important economic puzzle, but which makes methodologically suspect moves that it appears only Austrians may have noticed. (P.S. We're postponing the discussion of Public Choice, mentioned at the beginning, until a future episode.)
