Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate is the podcast of the Economics Society at George Mason University. The title is a phrase used by Adam Smith in The Theory of Moral Sentiments to describe the set of rules that are not "precise and accurate." Since economics is all about people and the decisions they make, very little of it is precise and accurate. Every Friday, this podcast dives into the looseness, vagueness, and indeterminacy with interviews of undergraduate students, graduate students, professors, and outsiders exploring economics from all angles.

Bryan Cutsinger on Monetary Policy and Becoming a Professor

Dr. Bryan Cutsinger, who earned his PhD in economics in 2019 from GMU, joins the podcast. He's a professor at Angelo State University in Texas, and also works with the Free Market Institute at Texas Tech. We discuss monetary policy: what it is, how it works (and doesn't), and historical examples. You wouldn't believe what Lyndon Johnson did to the Fed chairman when he was president. We also discuss some of Dr. Cutsinger's past research on the gold standard and monetary policy in the Confederacy during the Civil War. If you're interested in becoming a professor in economics, this podcast is also for you. Dr. Cutsinger discusses his many, many applications and interviews and gives some advice on how to make the transition from student to teacher.
