Oh, Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention.

Can I please have your attention?

Tell you, Digger! Go Jigga! Geegga!

Greetings your listeners, this is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant podcast, brought to you by

the Dispatch in Dispatch Media. We have a return

guest today. It's a topic I am I am fascinated by. People should probably bring out their nerd bingo cards early, just to be forewarned.

But, because this is like very on-brand remnant stuff we're going to get into.

But today's guest is Ryan Bourne, who according to this Cato Bio,

he's at the Cato Institute, occupies the R Evan Sharff chair for the public understanding of

economics at the Cato Institute. He's the author of the recent book, Economics in

One Lesson, but he's also the editor of a very exciting book just

out called The War on Prices, how popular misconceptions about inflation, prices, and value create bad policy.

And it's full of like a gazillion essays from some of my favorite people.

Just everything you ever wanted to argue about prices inflation COVID all this kind of stuff I'll run through some of the chapter

titles later but first Ryan welcome back to the remnants

Great to be with you Jay now I do want to correct one thing though. I am not the author of economics in one lesson. I don't want to take that away from handling. Is that what I said? I'm the author of economics in one virus. A very different book. I'm sorry. economics and one lesson looms so large in my life that I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just came out because I you know but yes it's economics in one virus.

I was literally reading it, but my love for Henry Hazlett

just made me say that.

I apologize to everybody.

And of course, while you're a libertarian, that doesn't mean you aren't wildly committed to property rights and Henry

Hazelitt owns that title.

So there we go.
