Best Econtalk Episodes 2014

As with previous years, Russ Roberts of Econtalk is asking listeners for their favorites episodes of the year. Here are mine:

Bryan Caplan on college, signaling and human capital

Jonathan Haidt on the righteous mind

Emily Oster on Infant Mortality

Velasquez-Manoff on autoimmune disease, parasites, and complexity

One notable episode that was not one of my favorites is D.G. Myers on cancer dying and living.

One important episode that was not one of my favorites is Thomas Piketty on inequality and capital in the 21st century

Econtalk is a wondrous podcast. I’m much smarter because of it.
