Prepare to trip on ideas, not conventional wisdom, with Political Economy hosted by the high-energy, erudite Jim Pethokoukis! Geared towards savvy news junkies and policy-wonks craving an intellectual adrenaline rush, this podcast lives in the intersection of public policy and economics. Visualize Jim as a policy pied piper, enticing economists, political pundits, and mocha-sipping martians to drop their arcane jargon and talk shop in plain English. Dive headlong into discussions about everything from digital currencies to flying scooters - all with a healthy (and occasionally snarky) regard for economic principles. The episode 'Inside the Wacky Tax World' is a hoot for its twist on fiscal policy, evoking chuckles as broad as the economic spectrum. So, hitch a ride on this podcast bandwagon to liven up your economics input! It's policy talk, turned on its head.
