Summary

Cato Institute economist Ryan Bourne joins The Remnant for the first time to discuss his new book, Economics in One Virus, which offers a crash course in economics using the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study. Over the last two years, many questions have been raised about America’s preparedness (or lack thereof) for the pandemic, and Ryan has answers. Did any country get COVID right? Why is testing still a mess? And is the libertarian movement as divided as the conservative movement?   Show Notes: - Ryan’s page at Cato - Ryan’s new book, Economics in One Virus - Ryan: “A Cure Worse Than the Disease?” - Scott Gottlieb: “A Second Major Seasonal Virus Won’t Leave Us Any Choice” - Strife in the fast lane with John Nestor - Biden’s Pandemic Preparedness Plan - Peter Nicholas: “There Are No Libertarians in an Epidemic” - Jonah: “When Narrative Trumps the Facts” Learn more about your ad choices.

As the author of the recent book economics and one virus. We're gonna get to the economics of one virus stuff in a moment

But I have to ask is like so I hold the cliff

As this chair and applied liberty and as long as you don't ask me what applied liberty is will be fine, but

Occupy I just a critty me know I was reading this has taken on such a negative

1:30.2

Connotation it makes it sound like it's not in fact your chair and you've seized it from the rightful older
