Welcome! Starting on September 8, Cato Institute fellow Scott Lincicome will serve as a tour guide of sorts though the often-impenetrable world of federal economic policy, including trade and international economics (which he has taught at Duke University), and virtually anything else related to the exchange of goods and services. At least once a week, Scott will take the latest policy research and data, translate it “into language that normal, non-nerds can more easily understand,” and explain how the outcomes of such policy debates affect the day-to-day lives of Americans. It’ll be illuminating and, odd as it might sound, fun.
