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.

Have you ever hesitated to share something because you were afraid people wouldn't understand? Or, worse, that they would understand but would punish you for it? This is episode is for you! Philosopher Emily McWilliams from the University of Dayton joins James and Guy to discuss a variety of ways that people can suffer communicative injustices.

In this episode, Dr. Robert Litan, co-Author of "Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism" and "Better Capitalism," discusses why economic growth remains an important priority, why not all forms of capitalism are created equal, and why we need a continuous entrepreneurial revolution.

Along the way, Dr. Litan shares his thoughts on the role immigration plays in spurring innovation and economic growth, the importance of AI, and the ability of entrepreneurship to help overcome the challenges of climate change.

Since Guy was away at a conference, James was joined by Dr. Sue Lynn Sasser, professor of economics (Emeritus) at the University of Central Oklahoma for this conversation.
