56 分钟Welcome to Macro Musings,
where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic issues of the past,
present, and future.
I am your host, David Beckwourth, a senior research fellow at the Merketis center at George Mason University.
And I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is Brian Albrecht.
Brian is the chief economist for the International center for Law and Economics.
Brian is also the co author of a popular economics newsletter titled Economic Forces.
Brian joins us today to discuss market structure, business dynamism, greedflation, antitrust developments, and more.
Brian, welcome to the show.
Hey, thanks so much for having me.
I've been listening since day one, so I'm excited to be here.
Yes, this is long overdue.
I've known Brian for a long time.
We have gone to similar conferences, run in similar crowds.
In fact, Brian, you have some affiliation with Mercatus in the past, correct?
Correct.
During grad school, I was an Adam Smith Fellow,
which allowed me to come out to Mercatus a few times a year and discuss economic ideas with,
you know, the people, some people in the policy group, but a lot of them within the FA Hayek program.
