The Think Brazos Podcast Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity

Bryan Caplan is an economist and George Mason University professor. Caplan shares his insights on reducing housing costs and details his newly published book "Build, Baby, Build: the Science and Ethics of Housing Regulation." He jokingly claims that his book is the "most fascinating book ever" on housing because it is a non-fiction graphic novel. We would like to thank the Private Enterprise Research Center at Texas A&M University for hosting Bryan Caplan in College Station, Texas at an event titled "Solving the American Housing Crisis"
