New Books in Economics

An incredibly entertaining way to learn new things about economics! Highly recommend especially the episode episodes with Peter Lorentzen. He’s really entertaining and I enjoy listening to him.

This used to be more about presenting research and new theories, and more rigorous. Now you’re getting episodes from organizations with the word “freedom” in them and episodes were people share cool Milton Freedman stories. It feels almost like advertising money has come in and made editorial demands…

…aside from the episodes I host.

Every episode brings a guest discussing their latest paper or book. While there‘s the occasional topic I don’t find interesting, there’s enough quality within the quantity of guests that keeps me coming back for more. Just be prepared to not listen to every episode. But I’ve found it a small price to pay for content that provides consistency in ways I find interesting.

I hope there will be more interviews by Andrea Bernardi. He is choosing interesting non-mainstream economists. Sound quality could be better, but I guess that means we should be donating to NBN, which is a marvelous project.
