-Very Cool.
I stumbled onto Econ Talk during the housing meltdown, and have tried to keep up ever since.(and I can’t believe how long that’s been.)
Highly recommend the appearances by Prof Mike Munger. He does an excellent job of explaining free market economics in everyday application.
(They do have an extensive & free Archive of material, for anyone who wants to take a look; audio, video, and text. Econ Talk is the weekly podcast.)
