Contra Krugman, episode 148.

Welcome to the podcast that takes apart Paul Kruikman's New York Times column.

Join us as Tom Woods and Bob Murphy teach economics by uncovering and dissecting the arrows of Krugman.

Nobel Prize winner, newspaper columnist, and destroyer of nations.

It's time for Contra Krugman.

Hey everybody, Tom and Bob here with

an all-star cast here

at Meesa's University where we are recording

before a live audience. Hello.

Hello. All right, this is episode 148, and for this episode, we're going to talk about a generic topic.

We're not going to do a Krugman column, thank heavens.

Instead, with this illustrious panel, we're going to talk about why Austrian

economics ought to matter to just the average person. Yeah, we're all nerds and scholars, but why

should some guy on the street care about Austrian economics? That's what we're going to hash out today.

Bob Murphy, of course, is with me here. I'm joined also by Dave Smith of the part of the problem podcast, who is just the

best guy in the world. I mean, it's so much fun to hang around with it. He does answer probably one

out of every 12 emails you send him. So it makes it all the more special when that one reply

does come through. So Dave, of course, you've got to get his Libertas comedy special because it was the number one comedy album on iTunes for three weeks, solid in 2017.

He's the best.

So we're glad to have him.

And he's on CNN.

I don't understand how that's happening.
