This week on Banter we sit down with Slate Magazines’ Matthew Yglesias who’s fresh off his first panel here at AEI. We discuss the event which revolved around competition and consumer laws and how they hurt and help different industries. Specifically, we discuss Uber Cab, a mobile based ride service has grown despite a huge backlash from Taxi Cab unions and companies. Matt also gives us a little insight into how he developed his beliefs and how he ended up at Slate. Henrik Temp from the AEI Ideas blog also sits down to discuss a few recent posts with us. Enjoy!

Banter #90: The Culture of Competition

Mar7th
2013 Leave a Comment Written by Andrew

On the latest AEI Banter podcast, we talk about our country’s culture of competition, or the possible lack thereof. And competing for your ears are not one, but two guests! First off, AEI’s own Dan Rothschild discuss what exactly a culture of competition means. Next, AEI visiting fellow Tim Carney sit down to banter about his research into how regulation affects competition, how politicians often confuse being pro-business with pro-competition, and why a competitive society matters. He also gives us a little insight to what Rand Paul’s filibuster was like from the Senate Gallery yesterday. If all that wasn’t delicious enough, we discuss competition through the lens of food trucks! Tasty, tasty food trucks. Bon appetit!
