The latest episode of AEI’s Banter podcast lightens thing up. Greg Lane of AEI’s Values and Capitalism project sits down to discuss all things Olympics. We discuss the appeal of the Olympics, play a round of “Is this an Olympic Sport” (Spoiler: Stu wins), and we get around to discussing what Values and Capitalism is up to and why Greg went to Montana.

Banter #61: All Things Debt

Jun21st
2012 1 Comment Written by Andrew

In the final installment of the Banter podcast’s Road to Freedom series, AEI President Arthur Brooks and Michael Strain sit down to discuss sources and solutions for the US debt problem. How large is the debt? What’s driving it? How can we solve it? Arthur and Michael present not only a detailed understanding of the debt, but why our concern for the underprivileged must drive political leaders towards a long term solution. Andrew also struggles to refrain from saying “excited” too often.

Banter #42: The one about Iran’s nuclear capabilities

Feb3rd
2012 1 Comment Written by Andrew

In the 42nd episode of Banter, Maseh Zarif, AEI Research Manager and Iran Team Lead for the Critical Threats Project, talks with us about Iran’s current nuclear capabilities.  Maseh lays out a chillingly accurate picture what Iran would need in order to develop a nuclear device, Iran’s current capabilities, and possible timelines of when this all could become a reality. We pay particular attention to what goes into producing highly enriched uranium, the ingredient in all this. Even more impressive, Maseh has put all of this together using publicly available information. It’s spooks Andrew enough that he resolves to build himself a bomb shelter.

Banter #40: The one about trade! (It’s a big deal)

2012 1 Comment Written by Andrew

Stu and Andrew sit down with AEI trade experts Claude Barfield and Matt Jension to discuss industrial production chains. Okay, so Stu was a little skeptical on this one. But Claude and Matt know their stuff. They give us a fascinating overview on the multifaceted dimensions of international trade, trade theory, policies that are constructive and destructive to it, and some issues the US faces going forward. If you’re at all interested in our globalized economy, you’ll love this edition of Banter. Both Stu and I learned a lot and we’re sure you will too.
