Russ Roberts on Life as an Economics Educator

<p class="graf graf--p">What are the virtues of forgiveness? Are we subject to being manipulated by data? Why do people struggle with prayer? What really motivates us? How has the volunteer army system changed the incentives for war? These are just some of the questions that keep Russ Roberts going as he constantly analyzes the world and revisits his own biases through thirteen years of conversations on <em class= "markup--em markup--p-em">EconTalk.</em></p> <p class="graf graf--p">Russ made his way to the Mercatus studio to talk with Tyler about these ideas and more. The pair examines where classical liberalism has gone wrong, if dropping out of college is overrated, and what people are missing from the Bible. Tyler questions Russ on Hayek, behavioral economics, and his favorite <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">EconTalk</em> conversation. Ever the host, Russ also throws in a couple questions to Tyler.</p> <p class="graf graf--p"><a href= "https://medium.com/conversations-with-tyler/russ-roberts-tyler-cowen-podcast-economics-e902a6ed8434"> Transcript and links</a></p> <p>Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/EconTalker">Russ</a> on Twitter</p> <p>Follow <a href="https://www.twitter.com/tylercowen">Tyler</a> on Twitter</p> <p class="graf graf--p">More CWT goodness:</p> <p class="graf graf--p"><a href= "https://facebook.com/cowenconvos">Facebook</a></p> <p class="graf graf--p"><a href= "https://twitter.com/cowenconvos">Twitter</a></p> <p class="graf graf--p"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/cowenconvos/">Instagram</a></p> <p class="graf graf--p"><a href= "https://mercatus.org/newsletters">Email</a></p>
