Cass Sunstein, Tyler Cowen, and Robin Hanson

Webcast.  Cass presents his new book Infotopia and Robin and I respond, filmed at the American Enterprise Institute and soon to be on C-Span.  Me: "You left out the part about blogging being fun."  Robin: "Talk isn’t always such a good way to get at the truth."

A webcast??? That seems to be minimally useful. I couldn’t seem to get an mp3 out of it. Podcast, anyone?

I highly recommend Sunstein’s book. He offers some though provoking arguments against advocates of deliberative democracy such as Habermas, Ackerman, Gutmann. And he also shows how prediction markets bolster Hayek’s thesis about the efficiency with which markets pool diparate information.

tyler, thanks so much for posting that. Even though I know a bit about predictions markets–largely from MR, Hanson, and tradesports–I still learned a lot.

zai, you’re a jerk.
