Buses in Santiago
I’m not sure how but I recently go turned on to this great podcast, EconTalk. Kristen and my mom have really been enjoying all the new things I’m learning and new methods I’m picking up for analysing their opinions. It’s been an enourmous help with my attempts to convince them of their dangerous trend towards fascism. I would warn you to but I’m probably not comfortable enough to do a good job. Anyway, it’s very gentle with regards to the economics even though all the episodes I’ve listened to have been the host and another academic having an extended conversation. Economics so far as I’ve seen is strikingly elegant and instantly usable but maybe that’s because I’m dull and dumb. The latest one on public transportation in Santiago made me make this recommendation but I also found the one with Thomas Sowell very interesting as he has a great presentation style and challenging ideas.

“People respond to incentives in every situation they find them selves in.” Hmm. I think I should use that at school. But not for getting done really fast! Economists are so smart! I enjoyed the podcast. Very interesting.

Solution: If we would just spend more of other peoples’ money the system will work!
