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.

@pete nice! It was recommended in the Planet Money podcast on the Keynes-Hayek book. Just discovered it is funed by !libertarians #notatroll

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.
