Hosts & Guests
A fascinating weekly talk with the most prominent scientists and writers
24/08/2015
Every week Russ Roberts manages to get to talk during one hour about a fascinating variety of economy-related topics with the most prominent scientists and writers. I am not an economist by education, but after listening to Econtalk for a while, I feel up-to-date regarding the current state of economic thought. Russ discusses the topic of the week extensively with his guest by looking at it from different angles and sometimes challenging the guest with critical questions. Although it's quite high-level economics, the podcast is rather easy to understand by any educated listener. Highly recommendable and lots of fun to listen to!
