Alex and I have started this, and today is the premiere of the first episode.  Here is the audio, video, and transcript, as with CWT (which by the way will continue as usual).  This episode covers the breakdown of monetary policy in the 1970s, and Alex and I have recorded a series of other episodes on the economics of the 1970s, among other topics.

Currently I think we have six (?) more episodes in the can.  Unlike CWT, this won’t be released once every two weeks, rather every now and then Alex and I will do a batch and then release them as a set, sequentially in fairly close succession.

From the current episode here is an excerpt:

COWEN: Barbarous relic. Look, we had to get rid of the gold standard.

TABARROK: No, no, we did not.

COWEN: It’s not an accident that it collapsed.

TABARROK: No, no, no. It definitely wasn’t an accident.
