Same here. It was my first episode of econtalk. There were thought provoking points; i.e. focusing more on systemic mistakes rather than small ones as a result of permitting decision making at the local level (a la N. Taleb). However, it could've been told in 1/3rd the duration. I'll give it another go given this episode might have been one off.
- icebraining 9y agoDefinitively don't judge Econtalk by the episodes with Mike Munger, they're more informal and less structured, since he's a friend of the host.
- travmatt 9y agoHe’s even hosted an episode
- XR0CSWV3h3kZWg 9y agoI love econtalk, but there are def some duds. Usually the problem is that they just drag on with Russ and the Guest agreeing upon something. Here are a few that I enjoyed recently: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/10/megan_mcardle_o.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/10/megan_mcardle_o.htm... http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/07/sally_satel_on.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/07/sally_satel_on.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/07/chris_blattman_2.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/07/chris_blattman_2.ht... http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/06/christy_ford_ch.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/06/christy_ford_ch.htm... http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/01/sam_quinones_on.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017/01/sam_quinones_on.htm...
