This is me (more on me) talking with the very smart David Robinson of AEI, find it here. It is about thirty minutes long, here is their summary. I recall talking about why blogging should count as scholarship, what’s wrong with food in Sweden, and how my views on elites and voters differ from those of Bryan Caplan, among other topics.
The conversation touches on Caplans book. You say that comapred to Caplan you have more trust in the economic wisdom posessed by ordinary people. Is this really true? Isn’t Caplan’s point that people can make good choices when it matters to them, but since voting doesn’t they indulge themselves in irrational behaviour that make them feel good? This isn’t really a disagreement of ability but of incentive.
Is it just me or is the sound quality unbearably bad?
aaron…member of the picky ears club?
ever spent time on hydrogenaudio? I have, and let me tell you…ignorance is bliss. Sorry you can’t listen to low quality recordings either…so many of my friends have no problems; I wince at artifacts.
Tyler Cowen: “I have more trust in the economic wisdom possessed by ordinary people than Bryan Caplan does”
Bryan Caplan: “We should revise the way we reach policy decisions so as to give more power to the people through market solutions instead of authoritarian solutions”
Tyler Cowen: “Bryan is just an “elitist”. If you give power to the people they’ll end up hating it and hating you the economist in the process”
Let me know if I’m misrepresenting the positions, but I’m not following the logic anymore.
