The course will include 10 lectures and 10 seminars by Pavel Usanov, as well as lectures by invited guests. "Economics and Law". For the eighth time, recruitment for the lecture course at the Hayek Institute has started. Previous courses brought together seven hundred and fifty participants from all over the world. This time, the course will be devoted to two fundamental pillars on which modern Western civilization rests: economics and law. Without understanding them, it is impossible to form an idea of ​​u200bu200bhow a free society is structured, as well as how the deformation and destruction of Civilization occurs due to the etatization of economics and law. What could be the alternative? What is the essence of the libertarian approach to these two areas? Should economic theory be considered as the basis for law - or vice versa, should law be considered as the basis for economic theory? Both of these options will be critically examined in the course and another option will be proposed. All questions will be answered in the lecture course. Law & Economics in the modern Academy is most often considered as an uncritical transfer of the mainstream model of Homo Economicus to issues of law and legislation. This approach is guilty of misunderstanding the law. To understand society and the economy, an approach from the position of Homo agens, proposed by Mises, is necessary. Unfortunately, Mises did not pay enough attention to the categories of law in his treatise "Human Action": property, possession, disposal, contract. Mises's praxeology explains how human activity is connected with the economy, but does not show what connection exists between the market, the state and the law. These issues were thoroughly studied by his student F.A. Hayek. Hayek's approach to law is of great importance for modern libertarian theory and politics. The evolutionary approach of Menger-Hayek helps to shed light on the connection between two fundamental sciences: law and economics. The course at the Hayek Institute will examine the history of law and the most important concepts: natural law, the historical school of law, legal positivism, modern postmodernism, the Marxist approach to law, and the libertarian theory of law. All of this will be considered in connection with the history of economics and economic thought. It should be noted that there is much in common between legal institutions and the way the "invisible hand of the market" works, which is how all the complex orders of human cooperation work, which the economist F. A. Hayek and the legal scholar B. Leoni wrote about. To preserve Western civilization, it is critically important to understand the two pillars on which everything we admire and continue to use rests. Pavel Usanov's author's course "Law and Economics" is designed to give a holistic picture of how law and economics work under capitalism, interventionism and socialism. The course will be attended by both theoretical economists and practicing entrepreneurs. Therefore, the course is valuable both for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of economic theory and law, and for those who want to solve practical problems. The uniqueness of the course also lies in the fact that for the first time the presentation of the principles of economic theory will be linked to legal issues based on the libertarian approach, which is impossible to do in any university. The course will cover in detail the most important books on the topic. Sign up right now and get access to new and classic literature on the course!
