Ep. 147: The Myth of "Wildcat Banks" in US History
Bob draws on three clips from a popular video discussing the banking sector, pre- and post-Fed. Bob dispels myths about the "wildcat" banks of the so-called Free Banking era, and shows that the Fed clearly led to more economic instability (as well as inflation).

Ep. 146: Alex Tabarrok on the Economic Analysis of Crime
Alex Tabarrok is a professor of economics at George Mason University. He joins Bob to discuss the problems with the typical economic analysis of crime, which (in the hands of Gary Becker) advocated increasing the punishment to bolster deterrence.

Ep. 145: Sorry Mamdani, Rent Control Doesn't Work
Spurred by the NYC rent freeze, Bob lays out the theory and history of rent control, explaining why it hurts the people it ostensibly is supposed to help. He also shows why a "revisionist" paper actually confirms the textbook arguments against rent control.

Ep. 144: The Gold Standard Did NOT Cause the Great Depression
Using the 2009 testimony of Brad DeLong as a foil, Bob defends the gold standard from the typical accusation that it was responsible for the Great Depression. Bob shows that even after leaving gold, both the UK and US remain mired with double-digit unemployment for longer than prior depressions had lasted.

Ep. 143: Alan Greenspan's Fed Fueled the Housing Bubble
Bob presents several lines of evidence to argue that the Federal Reserve under Alan Greenspan helped fuel the housing bubble in the early to mid-2000s. He also pushes back against the claim that it was an Asian savings glut to blame.

Ep. 142: Detailing Dube's Dubious Defense of Minimum Wage Hikes
Bob goes through a recent Substack post (adapted from his book) by Arin Dube, a leading economist pushing for aggressive minimum wage hikes. Bob shows the weaknesses in Dube's results, and gives an alternative measure detailing just how chilling minimum wage hikes may be on teen employment.

Ep. 141: Shaking Up Brent Johnson's Commentary on the Triffin Dilemma
Brent Johnson (of "dollar milkshake" fame) recently posted a video relaying the Triffin Dilemma to our current monetary situation. Bob pushes back, arguing that there was no problem with the dollar being tied to gold, and that its days as the global reserve are fewer than Brent thinks.
