The Dismal Science

The Dismal Science is a channel about economic ideas, read from the original documents.

Each episode takes one famous paper, one big argument or one everyday price and goes back to what was actually written. Adam Smith's own pages, Hayek's essay, the official numbers from agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Economists disagree, and you'll hear about it from us. Austrian, Keynesian, Chicago, behavioral, institutional, Marxian and other schools each get their strongest case, in words their own economists would write.

Every description lists the sources, with the best critique of each. 

Questions and objections are welcome in the comments. The best ones get answered on the air!

 Education about economic ideas. Not financial advice!
