I discuss the value of a stream of consciousness style versus a rigid structure and suggest, rather counterintuitively, that the two aren't always mutually exclusive. To top it off, in the interest of demonstrating the value of structure, this episode (unlike any other on my podcast) is recorded off the cuff, in one take, and without a single edit. Enjoy!

2018-09-1730 minThe Sign of the DollarEpisode 3: Ocasio-Cortez and the Rise of SocialismThis episode is all about the economic genius (totally not being sarcastic) Ocasio-Cortez. She has become the new darling of not only the democratic party, but also of full-blown socialists. The only problem is the policies she supports are not feasible at all, and her numerous instances of citing false statistics and making asinine statements really tells us a lot about her understanding of economics. Me and Kunal break down socialism as a system, and then talk about Ocasio-Cortez and her recent popularity.
