Summary

On The Gist, the redacted Mueller report as an exercise in Zen. In the interview, economist Tyler Cowen is just about the smartest person in Mike Pesca's podcast feed. He's on the Gist to answer rapid fire questions on the college admissions scandal, what the likes of Herman Cain would mean for the Fed, and the virtues of big American enterprises. That last topic is the subject of Cowen's new book, Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero. His podcast is Conversations with Tyler. In the Spiel, oh how we forget the gulf that lies between lived experience and public recollection. This episode is brought to you by Constant Contact.
