Bryan Caplan on the Myth of the Rational Voter
from The Not Unreasonable Podcast · host David Wright
Bryan Caplan is Professor of Economics at George Mason University and for Bryan's second appearance we're talking about how voters aren't all they're cracked up to be in terms of their ability to generate good electoral outcomes. I have two interests in this work for Bryan. First, it's pretty helpful to have a sober literature-backed investigation into voter behavior in an era when politics feels like it's getting ever less functional. Second, I think there some deep ideas behind this book that inform how we make decisions in daily life. Politics isn't only confined to the ream of government, after all!Show notes: https://notunreasonable.com/?p=7297Twitter: @davecwrightSurprise, It's Insurance mailing listLinkedin Social Science of Insurance Essays
