Peter Boettke is a professor of economics and philosophy at George Mason University, as well as the author of several books. 

Today we talk about a book called Mainline Economics, which is a collection of Nobel lectures from what he defines as “mainline economists”.

A mainline economist’s methodology of economics falls in the tradition and lineage of Adam Smith. We talk about the benefits of this type of economics and how it diverges from mainstream economics, along with when and why that happens.
