Good News! James is back! The whole crew is reunited. Even our guest Matthew Hennessey – a self-professed Ricochet nerd – was missing him. Matt's got a new book heading our way. It's called Visible Hand: A Wealth of Notions on the Miracle of the Market. Matthew proves to the hosts that Economics doesn't have to be mind-numbingly boring. (And our host who's had the pleasure of reading it goes so far as to say it belongs with Sowell and Friedman! Not too shabby.)
Also, Peter has some thoughts on the comparison of Joe Biden's "gaffe" to a certain well-known Reagan speech; and the guys managed the nearly impossible feat of talking about the Oscars with little emphasis on a slap-happy star.

If not for the assault and battery, why talk about the Oscars?

I'm sick of hearing about the stupid Oscars and stupid Will Smith.

Very good, needed, and gets after the right as well as the kooky left. In a country of 300 plus million, the biggest economy, ever, by gobs, and the most diverse folks anywhere, the notion that a well intentioned top could run the economy if it had the right folks in charge is insane and worse now in this complex world than it was a century ago. If we can't go back to bottom up somehow, we're going to lose it all. That's what the top does, always throughout history.

So many Republicans are so stupid about this.
