- Nothing to do with Smith, Marx, or actual history of economic thought pre 1900. All Neoclassical.
All neoclassical and Austrian guests, not sure why this has Smith and Marx in the title. Almost nothing to do with the actual classical economics, differences in methodologies or classic economists themselves. No respect at all for history or economic thought.
5 stars only because I do not want to ruin the reputation or hard work done by the hosts…however very disappointed to say the least.

United States10 months ago - Great!!!
This podcast is essential to have in a library of economics podcasts. To have an understanding of economic history is so important to any aspiring economist and at makes me really happy that a show like this one exists to provide that for me! The hosts ask very interesting questions and the episodes flow nicely.
I think that it would help to catch listeners if the title said something about the episode.
