When he was younger and in university, Miguel Anxo Bastos was interested in socialist ideas. He was also a member of the Galician Nationalist Bloc, a political group that supports Galicianism, which is about the culture and identity of the Galicia region in Spain.
Later, he became very interested in the Austrian School of economics. This school of thought focuses on how individuals make choices and how markets work without much government control. He was especially influenced by famous economists like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek.
He is a student of another economist named Jesús Huerta de Soto. Together, they are important thinkers in Spain who support libertarian ideas.

He has given many of these talks at the Juan de Mariana Institute in Spain and at the Francisco Marroquín University in Guatemala. These talks have helped him become well-known in the media.
