The Debt Dialogues is a weekly podcast that aims to educate young people about the welfare state and how it will affect their future. In this episode, I interview John Tamny, editor of RealClearMarkets, on his new book Popular Economics: What the Rolling Stones, Downton Abbey, and LeBron James Can Teach You About Economics. Topics covered include:

• Why Tamny thinks we should celebrate economic inequality
• Why great CEOs are actually underpaid
• How the death tax harms even those who don’t have to pay it
• Effective communication of free-market ideas.
