Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate
George Mason Economics Society
14 episodes
3 days ago
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.

Hitchhiking and Hazlitt

On the second episode of Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate, I am accompanied in my hosting duties by Econ Society member George Minning as we interview Caleb Petitt.  Caleb is a fellow undergraduate at George Mason University who went on an exchange trip to Spain.  On that trip, he acquired one of the wildest stories you’ll ever hear about hitchhiking his way through Europe.

Inspired by Henry Hazlitt’s famous book, George, Caleb, and I teach economics in one lesson using the hitchhiking story.  We cover marginalism, subjectivism, state vs. private ownership, and much more.
