“Comment in response to your Podcast interview with Don Boudreaux on January 21, 2008. "...growing, prosperous economy that we all enjoy"? Boudreaux, you mean the middle- to upper-class American constituency, the CEOs and managers who profit from alienation of labour, from outsourced, indeed exploited, labour? Are you truly including everyone in your "all"? How about the Mexicans who provide countless products and services at exploited wages? You think that they prospering and enjoying America's growing economy? You know they aren't. Are you assuming that Mexico’s bordering towns, ravaged by NAFTA's insidious Chapter 11 which protects the rights of American corporations from Mexican legislation usually at the expense of the local populations, is non-existent (ie, Metalclad)? Or perhaps you just don't care about the adverse effects of NAFTA and neoliberal global trade in general (ie, suppressed wages, dire working conditions, slave labour (see GAP and India))? Perhaps a better question to ask is this: Do we American's deserve to benefit at the expense of the exploited poor (ie, Chinese, Mexican, whoever)? If so, what gives us this right? What makes us more worthy? You should do a Podcast on this topic. Good luck ever justifying our current global economy. Although I clearly disagree with some of your economic and ideological beliefs with regards to global trade, I do appreciate your Podcast as it gives me ample proof (which I will source) that ignorant academia exists even in this so-called civilised country. Three stars for effort.”Read full review »

“I'm in grad school pursuing my MFA... yeah I'm in art school, studying photography no less. Though, my undergrad was cultural anthropology and linguistics. Art school is a lot of work but it isn't all that challenging in the way an academic program is. This podcast is one of my weekly...”Read full review »

“Econtalk, as the title would suggest, is a weekly podcast focusing on economics. For those of you cringing, recalling Econ 101--the charts, the equations, the middle-aged man droning endlessly in a monotone voice--fear not! Economics is a broad discipline, concerned with so much more than dry...”Read full review »
