Economics & Beyond with Rob Johnson
Rob Johnson is not your average economist, and this is not your average economics podcast. Every week, Rob talks about economic and social issues with a guest who probably wasn’t on your Econ 101 reading list, from musicians to activists to rebel economists. A podcast of The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET).

Today’s interview with Lincoln Mitchell is very good thank you. However he like everyone is talking about people who voted for Trump. I believe the people who DIDN’T VOTE! Are the issues. And the reasons they didn’t. The police state and fascist rhetoric against students on college campuses the reaction to peaceful protesters. turning words like antisemitism into a legal club, firing, and expelling people! that was the Democrats! they also didn’t help women’s rights in all the years that they had to do so. but especially in these three years. From Congress, senators reaction a huge majority of us feel that neither party is good. and we’re fine that the Democrats didn’t win. We’re not fine, that Trump did. that’s important. everything else is the United States of America has no working government at all‼️
Excellent listening

Rob Johnson is a very thoughtful and insightful podcast host . His guests are diverse in background, and the discussions between Rob and his guests are unfailingly thought provoking and enlightening.
Every interview is eye-opening

I get a surprise every time I listen to an interview. Such deep and daring thinkers and Rob Johnson is a great host, making wonderful connections from economics to humanity, to art and music.
Change your Intro. Music

Great content, but please please change your intro music. It’s so corny and out of place. Get some low-key instrumental synth wave as intro music. Take a nod from NPR.
Well presented

Excellent podcast that discusses relevant topics in a very educated and well thought out manner. Rob Johnson and his guests are very informed and knowledgeable and present thought provoking and mind expanding points of view from their real life experiences. America needs a podcast like this at a time when so much of the country is polarized to help expand our minds. Thank you Rob!

I’m having a hard time making sense of this podcast, its host and the general tenor of the discussions. This is less New than Eclectic. Since 2008 it was clear that the sort of economics that was taught and practised was dangerously off but the response should have been to look for original approaches rather than everything in the kitchen sink. Sadly, that’s what we get here. With the political fallout that followed and now the shock from the pandemic we still have the same old plodding approach of talking to middle of the road thinkers and seeking out tinkering on the margins.
The host was literally eating cereals!
02/20/2021
After the host’s introduction, the guest starts talking about the Chinese economy while the host on the background puts his bowl on the table, puts the spoon in the bowl, grabs the cereal box, pulls the plastic bag out, pours the cereal into to the bowl, after the liquid’s added, starts eating! And it doesn’t end there! He goes on eating for like 6-7 mins while you can hear the sound of spoon on the bowl and even his chewing! Interesting podcast!
Good content, marginal presentation
07/19/2020
The host either doesn’t care or doesn’t know that the noise from activities in the background are being recorded. Clicks and chimes from his unsilenced iPhone, rustling papers, crinkling plastic wrappers, and running water are just a few background noises that take an otherwise great podcast down several notches. It is frustrating to listen to, and disrespectful to the audience and the guests.
Really strange
07/06/2020
The lack of respect for the guests is a bit shocking. The host leaves his mic on and while they speak he sighs heavily, rearranges papers and objects on his desk so loud they drown out the speaker, etc etc. Have the decency to mute your mic or at least edit that stuff out later. It sounds like a joke.
Illumination in times of uncertainty

Thought provoking and insightful commentary that gets to the core of what’s really going on in society.
