Ekon talk is the weekly economics podcast. This week, host Russ roberts talks about churches in America. He says they are at odds with most economists' simplistic economic theory. The show will be back on Monday for more econ talk.
Don Boudreaux of George Mason University and Cafe Hayek talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the intellectual legacy of Ronald Coase. The conversation centers on Coase's four most important academic articles. Most of the discussion is on two of those articles, "The Nature of the Firm," which continues to influence how economists think of firms and transaction costs, and "The Problem of Social Cost," Coase's pathbreaking work on externalities.
