I have done my best to have some of George Mason University’s finest on my podcast:

Walter Williams: Episode 244 and Wikipedia

Tyler Cohen: Episode 575, Episode 255 and Wikipedia

Robin Hanson: Episode 236, Episode 461, Episode 615 and Wikipedia

Bryan Caplan: Episode 671 and Wikipedia

Daniel Klein: Episode 662 and Wikipedia

Alex Tabarrok: Episode 289 and Wikipedia

Peter Leeson: Episode 687 and Wikipedia

Nobel Prize Winner Vernon Smith: Episode 178 and Wikipedia

Note: Vernon Smith is not at Mason now, but was for a very long time. He did win his Nobel Prize while teaching there. He also appears in my film. Full disclosure? I did graduate from Mason and remain quite proud of the school’s immense success…in literally less than 30 years. Amazing!

My guest today is Gregory Aldrete, a professor of history and humanistic studies at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, where he has been teaching since 1995. His emphasis is on rhetoric and oratory, floods in Rome, ancient Greek and Roman history, and daily life in the Roman world. What was life like in ancient Roman times? How did people do things in the ancient Roman Empire? These questions are what fascinates Gregory and keeps him moving forward in his research.

The topic is his book History’s Great Military Blunders and the Lessons They Teach.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Butterfly effect
• Overconfidence in leadership
• Napoleon’s biggest blunder
