Walker sits down with privacy advocate, cypherpunk, and Freedom Tech builder Max Hillebrand to discuss his new book, The Praxeology of Privacy .
Max explains how Austrian economics and cypherpunk philosophy intersect, why privacy is a natural consequence of self-ownership and property rights, and how surveillance distorts economic calculation in much the same way that money printing distorts markets.
The conversation explores:
Why privacy is fundamentally tied to freedom
The economic consequences of surveillance
CBDCs and the future of financial control
Why corporations and governments increasingly operate as surveillance partners
