“So apparently Gigi Foster’s son asks her about the hammer and sickle, and she goes on a long solo about the virtue and necessity of markets and the evils of a planned economy.
During this time, there’s no mention of hammers, sickles, workers, peasants, Russia, WWI, the word “soviet” or most of...”Read full review »

“In this era when we are told we aren’t getting our fair share of the money, The Economists explain the science of economics and apply it to today’s Australia, in the hope that each person can can live a better live thanks to decisions better made. Great stuff!”

“Greatly appreciate this podcast and greatly disappointed it has ceased. The content was pertinent, current and informative. One could measure and review one’s understanding of economic events with the benefit of commentary by genuine skilled economists. Will be greatly missed please ‘bring it back’”

“The discussion with US economist Justin Wolfers on 28 May was rather fawning. Are the show presenters unaware of the trenchant critique of the economic model of choice by Jonathan Aldred or Richard Robb? Aldred’s and Robb’s work is readily accessible, so there’s no excuse for promulgating...”Read full review »

“Recently I’ve noticed that Gigi seems to have taken quite a callus position towards the worth of a human life in this Covid19 landscape. Now while I’m not of the religious persuasion, I don’t believe her position and weighing of a life against a hand full of dollars is just a case of economics. I...”Read full review »

“Interesting concepts and great ideas and debates, but Gigi speaks to fast and interrupts too much! Please try and speak more slowly and not over the top of each other. As someone who is not across all economic theories, it is difficult to follow at times.
Otherwise great show! Keen to hear more...”Read full review »

“As a professional economist I was deeply disappointed with the extremely poor ‘analysis’ in the latest episode. I even had to stop listening halfway through because I was so frustrated and angry and how wrong some of the points were.
Not only was the position taken by Gigi one that doesn’t...”Read full review »

“I have to say that I loved the most recent podcast, great debate between both presenters about the stark realities of this virus. Thank you Gigi for illuminating a seemingly unpopular, but all too true, argument concerning the damage that shut downs are doing to economies all around the world. I...”Read full review »
