Mc Cormack Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance at University of Chicago, Booth School of Business to discuss the current state of European finances, how they can restore economic prosperity, and how U.S. style entrepreneurship can jump start the Italian and European economies. Be sure to pick up the Professor's new book A Capitalism for the People: Recapturing the Lost Genius of American Prosperity.

Hallelujah! Luigi Zingales is a wonderful scholar and adds to that tremendous common sense and the courage to point out naked emperors. You can also hear more from him at the Econtalk podcast, where he had a delightful interview with Prof. Roberts.Bravo Mr. Pethokoukis for introducing him to the Ricochet community.

Another great podcast. Money and Politics has now pulled into 2nd place on my Ricochet favorites list. The Psychedelic Furs intro is great as well.

Who would've expected such an insightful conversation filled with so much good economic sense from a Greek guy and an Italian guy?

I learned a lot and followed most everything quite well – I'm a good test case for your average-to-dumb citizen in matters of money, math and big finance. Thank you for introducing us to Mr. Zingales, who is an excellent communicator. Let's have some more, soon!
