Let different minds collide
Economic ideas become clearer when people with different commitments confront the same problem. Our fictional hosts gather international circles of friends and specialists to argue, explain and test. Characters are editorial devices and AI personas, not real people or substitutes for qualified professional advice. Fictional guests must be labelled. Real guests appear only with permission; do not imply endorsements.
Every discussion must land somewhere
An episode ends by identifying an economic consequence: what changes in production, cost, income, ownership or public spending; who gains; who pays; who decides; and what should be tested next. The hosts do not have to agree. A precise disagreement and a useful experiment can be a better ending than artificial consensus.
