Learning economics on the long drive

Spent almost 12 hours yesterday getting home from Bowling Green, Ohio where I spent the weekend "junking" with my sister. Spent most of the trip home listening to the EconTalk podcast out of George Mason University.

Especially interesting were :

• Boettke on Elinor Ostrom, Vincent Ostrom, and the Bloomington School
• Belongia on the Fed
• Gary Stern on Too Big To Fail
• Brady On Health Care Reform, Public Opinion

I always recommend Roberts' discussions with Nassim Nicholas Taleb :

• Taleb on Black Swans
• Taleb On The Financial Crisis
• Taleb on Black Swans, Fragility and Mistakes
