Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate
George Mason Economics Society
14 episodes
4 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.

The Rustici Rules Episode

Prof. Thomas Rustici joins the podcast for the first episode of second semester.  There's something for everyone in this episode with the hardest-working man in introductory economics.  We discuss the origin of some of his teaching phrases, like "stupid on stilts with flashing neon lights" and the famous "Rustici Rules."  You'll learn some things about Prof. Rustici that you didn't know before like his dream job when he was in high school and what kinds of music he loves, likes, and hates.  We also discuss the state of liberty and politics in America and hear about Prof. Rustici's experience as a presidential candidate adviser to Ben Carson.  Finally, we ponder some constitutional changes and public choice remedies for runaway government spending.  James Talocka cohosts.
