I have listened to almost all of the EconTalk podcasts and they have had a strong impact on my thinking about the society and economics. I come from Finland and it’s some times nice to hear Russ commenting on Finnish educational system or social security system as something almost unreachable utopia. As a Finn, I have to say that our systems have faults as well and, unfortunately, the cost of running these systems is getting out of hands at the moment.
