    Episode 44 - Price Gouging
    WE. ARE. BACK. After a very long hiatus I am back and making podcasts again. Don't worry folks nothing bad happened. It was more like being an adult got in the way for a while. Anyway, I chose to use this come-back episode to talk about something related to current events and answer the question of "why do economists keep insisting that there's no such thing as price gouging?"

    Episode 43 - Comparative Advantage
    This week we're talking about Comparative Advantage and asking the question "why should we engage in trade." I cover both the concept as well as its originator, David Ricardo, who you will discover is in fact "The Most Interesting Man in the World."

    Episode 42 - The Wealth of Nations 1.11.2 - Rent of Land part 2
    This week we're back with part two of chapter eleven of book 1 of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, and this one is massive. We're covering what is known as the Digression on Silver, and wondering if you can call something a digression when it's almost 100 pages long.
