Hayek Program Podcast - Entangled Political Economy — David Hebert on Public Finance and Political Parties

This is the second episode of a three-part miniseries on entangled political economy (EPE), hosted by Mikayla Novak. Entangled political economy is a sub-discipline of political economy that explicitly views individuals and the private and public sectors as being intertwined in overlapping exchange relationships along competitive and collaborative dimensions.

On this episode, Mikayla Novak is joined by David Hebert who details his time working with Richard Wagner, discusses his work on public finance and political parties viewed through the lens of entangled political economy, and explains his view of the future direction of EPE research.

David Hebert is a Senior Research Fellow with the American Institute for Economic Research and an Associate Director of EPERN. Previously, he was the chair of the Department of Economics and an Associate Professor of Economics at Aquinas College.

Eight translators from eight countries travel to a Polish forest to begin adapting famed author Irena Rey's newest book into their respective languages. But when Irena Rey disappears, a competitive, ego-fueled search unravels in the surrounding woods and within each person. In today's episode, author Jennifer Croft speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about her new novel, The Extinction of Irena Rey, and how her own experience as an International Booker Prize-winning translator sparked an interest in the drive and desires of the people tasked with "shapeshifting" a text into their own tongue.

US - a case where Professor Amar and his team had an amicus brief - the tax power was upheld, but reading the opinion one might wonder if the same Court had sat for this case.  We take a look at the opinions and give our own take on these impactful cases, even as we brace ourselves for many more in the week or so to come.
