Show notes

My guest today is Jeffrey Miron, an economist, served as chairman of the Department of Economics at Boston University, currently teaches economics at Harvard University, and holds the position of Director of Economic Policy Studies at the Cato Institute. Jeffrey came to be a libertarian from an economics standpoint rather than philosophical, with Milton Friedman at the helm of his influencers. Jeffrey randomly started working on drug legalization in college and came to the conclusion that ramifications of outlawing anything would apply to all markets whether it be guns or drugs.

The topic is economics.

Ep. 675: Jerry Muller Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Jul 13, 2018

Show notes

My guest today is Jerry Muller, a professor of history at The Catholic University of America, where he has taught since 1984. His latest book is "The Tyranny of Metrics." Quantifying metrics can be a good thing, however, it can easily go too far and have great consequences. Jerry sees pitfalls of focusing too much on metrics everywhere – schools, hospitals, even venture capital. Children gear their learning toward beating a test rather than intellectually developing their mind. Doctors fixate on standardized performance measures, rewards and punishment, and publicized accountability. The system encourages and sometimes requires doctors to game the system. Venture capitalism, the very field where creativity should prosper, tends to foster an anti-creative atmosphere. Investors want to see data to back up a new product so they can see proof of a future profit.

The topic is his book The Tyranny of Metrics.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Intrinsic motivation
Tyranny of metrics
Metric fixation
Metrics in law enforcement
Metrics in health industry
Managerial ideology
Powerpoint presentations
Metrics in China

Ep. 673: Christopher Ryan Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

My guest today is Christopher Ryan, best known for co-authoring "Sex at Dawn." The book deals with the evolution of monogamy in humans and human mating systems. In opposition to what the authors see as the "standard narrative" of human sexual evolution, they contend that having multiple sexual partners was common and accepted in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness. One of the more pivotal moments was when he was an undergraduate in college. He was able to skip his junior year of college and subsequently hitchhiked to Alaska. Before that journey to Alaska, he thought the world was a dangerous place. Once he got outside his bubble and met strangers, he learned how kind and generous people were. It shifted the way he thought about life and the world.

The topic is his book Sex at Dawn.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Monogamy
Hunter and gatherer society
Agricultural revolution
Culture of women sexuality
Sexual transmitted disease
War on masturbation
Social groups
