Today, Tyler is talking to Larry Summers.

And if after the conversation is over, you feel like you haven't quite got your Summers

fix?

Well, I got good news for you because he's also this week's guest on macro musings with

David Beckworth, another one of the podcasts we produce here at Mercatus.

It's a pure adose, a good ol' fashion macro economics.

They talk about the great recession, fiscal stimulus, the Fed, QE12 and 3, and of course,

NGDP targeting.

And if you like geeking out about macro, be sure to check out David's past conversations

with Paul Krugman, Greg Mancue, Betsy Stevenson, Scott Sumner, and many, many more.

All of those episodes are available online.

In your career, you've mentored a large number of very successful people.
