The Economist Next Door
The Economist Next Door with host Paul Muller is AIER’s newest podcast. It’s a plain-spoken guide that makes complex ideas accessible to the “everyman” and “everywoman.” No PhD required. In place of partisan spin, we’re offering honest analysis and an optimistic spirit and translating academic concepts into clear conversations.
Paul Mueller is a Senior Research Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research. He received his PhD in economics from George Mason University. Previously, Dr. Mueller taught at The King’s College in New York City. He has published widely in both academic and popular publications.
