The episode is pretty good. It's fun to listen to economists' perspective on these services after being absorbed in the tech.
- tptacek 12y agoI liked it fine, but I found the economics to be extremely predictable and the public policy analysis to be very shallow. For instance, Airbnb is to Mike Munger an unalloyed good; I found myself yelling at the car radio "but what about the mob hotels?" You knew Roberts and Munger were going to like Uber, and, of course, they do.
- w1ntermute 12y agoI think that was to be expected, based on the fact that they are both professed libertarians. There are other episodes where the guest doesn't share Roberts' ideologies though.
