** Recent Podcast Episodes
------------------------------------------------------------

Competition with China and Friend-shoring in East Asia ft. Noah Smith ([link removed])

Noah Smith joins the podcast for a whirlwind discussion of all things East Asia. Why did Japan industrialize faster than its neighbors? Why was China so slow to do so? How are current trade tensions affecting China, and what are they doing about it? Should the US do more 'friend-shoring' with allies like Japan, South Korea and Taiwan? And what does the future hold for economies in East Asia? We discuss all this and more!

Why does Section 230 Matter? ft. Malena Daley and Shoshana Weissmann ([link removed])

The internet as we know it depends on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. But if it's so crucial, why do so many people seem to want to change it or kill it entirely? PPI's Malena Dailey and R Street's Shoshana Weissmann join the show to discuss Section 230. What exactly does Section 230 say? Why is it so important for the internet to function? What would happen if it was changed? And who specifically is so mad at 230 and why?

Predicting the Future ft. Stephen Grugett ([link removed])

Why is everyone so excited about prediction markets? Stephen Grugett, founder of Manifold Markets, joins the show to discuss all things prediction markets. We talk about why prediction markets are useful, the strange ways in which they might be used in the future, whether or not they're actually as accurate as they claim to be, the ethical considerations in putting everything into a market, and much more.
