James and Guy look back on the episodes they've done so far--the good, the bad, and the ugly. Find out who their dream guests would be, what they're still curious about, and their favorite guest answer to their special question.

In this episode, Dr. Bryan Caplan, economist at George Mason University, discusses his book, The Case Against Education, with Guy & James. Caplan explains why he thinks most of the gains from education are from signaling rather than human capital development, and how this distorts the education process.

Along the way, we also discuss Caplan's views on immigration and why he has developed a preference for graphic novels as a means of communicating his ideas.
