This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on Is there, in your view, a tipping point — a percentage at which a country can bo longer afford its debt costs? The gap between EU and UK base rates is now significant. Is it abnormally so, by historical standards? Is it warranted?Do you think ONS are correct saying only 0.1 difference on restated CPI after car tax error? Hi Shaun, re your article on the scale of the US fiscal problem, is the CBO saying that Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will add $2.4tn to the US deficit by 2034 on the one hand, and also that his tariff hikes will reduce budget deficits by $2.5 trillion over the decade through 2035? Given your many years of experience, I am curious as to what extent you believe bond markets respond to political discourse Vs economic data/indicators?

2025 Housing Market Update and Future Outlook

Professor Erik Angner of Stockholm University offers profound insights in his book “How Economics Can Save the World: Simple Ideas to Solve Our Biggest Problems,” presenting practical economic thinking as a tool to address today’s most pressing global challenges.

Our world faces unprecedented challenges - from climate change and inequality to hunger and the lasting impacts of a global pandemic. These crises have made our lives more uncertain and our societies more divided. But what if economics could help? 

In How Economics Can Save the World, Professor Erik Angner argues that economics is not just about markets, money, or the wealthy elite. It’s a powerful framework for understanding the world around us - and for designing practical solutions to real-world problems. Whether it’s parenting or public policy, organ donation or housing, economics provides tools that can improve decision-making, promote fairness, and enhance wellbeing. With a rich blend of optimism and real-life stories, Angner reveals how economists think - and how that thinking can help us build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future. This is an episode that reclaims economics as a force for good - and invites readers to see it as a guide for making life better for everyone.

Dr. Angner is the author of Hayek and Natural Law and the widely used textbook A Course in Behavioral Economics (3rd edition, 2021). His scholarly work spans behavioral and experimental economics, the economics of happiness, and the philosophical foundations of economic theory. His widely acclaimed book, How Economics Can Save the World (Penguin, 2023), brings economic thinking to bear on today’s most urgent global challenges.

Dr. Erik Angner’s interdisciplinary expertise bridges economics and philosophy. He holds dual PhDs in Economics and in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh, a path shaped, as he puts it, by 'serious mission creep.'

Can Economics Really Save the World? A Deep Dive into Erik Angner’s Groundbreaking Book

In this week’s episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with McKenna Peplinski, a senior research associate at Resources for the Future, about delays in building up the infrastructure that delivers electricity to the United States. Many electric power projects, such as bids for new generators and transmission lines, are waiting in long queues to connect to the grid. In a recent study she coauthored, Peplinski examines the consequences of these delays in building out power infrastructure by comparing two scenarios that the research team modeled: one in which projects move forward on schedule, and another in which projects get stalled. She shares the research findings, which reveal that these delays have negative consequences for energy costs, emissions from power plants, public health, and the feasibility of adding renewable energy sources to the grid.

Vincent Geloso and Chandler Reilly have a new paper in which they use Rothbard's "Private Product Remaining" (PPR) as a lower bound on estimates of national output, to be contrasted with the convention GDP statistics as an upper bound. Bob has the authors explain Rothbard's proposal and how they are trying to introduce it to the economics profession.
