  • Used to be rigorous

    This used to be more about presenting research and new theories, and more rigorous. Now you’re getting episodes from organizations with the word “freedom” in them and episodes were people share cool Milton Freedman stories. It feels almost like advertising money has come in and made editorial demands…

  • Interviewers are not skilled

    Great book selections, great theme, should be a great podcast, but WOW all the hosts seem totally unprepared, have super vague questions (what did you think about that?) they ask each time, and they stumble through the interview like undergrads. Do your homework and read the book - ask questions that advance the conversation - speak up and don’t say “Uh.” This pod would be so much better if you followed this advice.

  • Too heavily politicised

    I used to enjoy this podcast when it discussed a broad range of economic issues. The recent episodes, however, are becoming more obscure and radical. My guess is these episodes now have to lowest listening rates in the channel’s history. If these titles are the best works coming out of academia, no wonder people are switching off in droves.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gregory T. Chin and Kevin P. Gallagher, "China and the Global Economic Order" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: What implications would there be for the global economic order if China were to exit the Bretton Woods institutions?
If China were to leave, it could lead to increased fragmentation of the global economic order and potentially weaken the existing multilateral frameworks.
Gregory T. Chin and Kevin P. Gallagher, "China and the Global Economic Order" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: What policy choices by the United States could encourage China to remain invested in the Bretton Woods institutions?
Encouraging cooperation through shared global interests and recognizing China's rising influence, rather than treating it solely as a threat, would be crucial for sustaining engagement.
Gregory T. Chin and Kevin P. Gallagher, "China and the Global Economic Order" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: How do you assess China's monetary ambition despite its continued reliance on the US dollar?
China understands the vulnerabilities inherent in relying heavily on the US dollar system and is gradually promoting the use of its currency in global trade while implementing a digital renminbi.
Gregory T. Chin and Kevin P. Gallagher, "China and the Global Economic Order" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: Can you help us understand hybrid institutional engagement and China's two-way countervailing power?
China engages with Bretton Woods institutions by both absorbing existing norms and creating alternative frameworks, thus acting as a rule-taker and a rule-maker simultaneously.
Misty L. Heggeness, "Swiftynomics: How Women Mastermind and Redefine Our Economy" (U California Press, 2026)
Q: What advice do you have for young women studying economics in a male-dominated industry?
Having a support group is critical, and it's important not to internalize misogyny or exclusionary experiences.
