  • Is The Gain Worth the Pain? The Use and Effectiveness of Sanctions

    Is The Gain Worth the Pain? The Use and Effectiveness of Sanctions
    Nov 8 2024

    The United States makes the most prolific use of economic sanctions in global affairs. But are these sanctions even effective? And are the benefits worth the costs? Join Enoch and Tim as they discuss the logic of sanctions and their effectiveness while exploring whether the carrot is more beneficial than the stick. And have some fun while wandering into topics of integrity and the Summer Olympics.

  • Reality Check or Dream On? Debating Idealism vs. Realism

    Reality Check or Dream On? Debating Idealism vs. Realism
    Oct 25 2024

    Better to be a realist or an idealist? Economists and political scientists often stress a view of how the world is rather than what it ought to be. But how should we as individuals view our world and the people inhabiting it? Enoch and Tim discuss the merits of both perspectives as they think through when we should choose to be realists and when is it better to be idealists.
