     I really like Russ Roberts. My favorite one was "Where Potato Chips Come From" - http://ur1.ca/916jv

     You get the sense that he is never bored with his guests. He picks topics that interest him and makes you interested in them as well.

     I credit a lot of my new-found interest in economics to Roberts. He made fascinating what I previously considered to be a very dry topic.

     He is also a great writer and one of the main contributors to cafehayek.com. Don Boudreaux is slightly obnoxious but still interesting.

     @pete re: reserves regulated as off-limits: GOOD. There's a reason we don't want oil spills everywhere. #externalizedcosts #corporatewelfare

     1. Under whose authority is that "regulated?" 2. Is that really why you think those regulations exist? 3. #corporatewelfare? I don't get it.

     4. I was more interested in the opening metaphor than the conclusion, really.
