Hi Michael,

I have been a listener to your Trend Following podcast for a few years now. If my memory serves me right, I think it was ex Hedgefund Manager in Oslo (my place of birth), which directed me towards your podcast.

Thanks for taking the time to do these podcasts. You have lots of interesting people on it, and I love the topics. If there was anything negative to say, it would be that there might be too many. That is probably more a result of a lack of time, as I do like to enjoy a few other good podcasts.

When I get around to do it, I will buy your latest book.

I am also writing, hence I was interested in the podcast about self-publishing. Great stuff. For now, I am exclusively writing on the Seeking Alpha platform. You can find it under [Name] Investment.

I live in Singapore, where I and my wife have a small Oil & Gas services company ([Company Name) and I run a small investment company called [Name] Investment Holding Pte. Ltd (no relation to Paul Tudor Jones).

Keep the good work up.

Best regards,
[Name]

Thanks!

My guest today is Jeffrey Miron, an economist, served as chairman of the Department of Economics at Boston University, currently teaches economics at Harvard University, and holds the position of Director of Economic Policy Studies at the Cato Institute. Jeffrey came to be a libertarian from an economics standpoint rather than philosophical, with Milton Friedman at the helm of his influencers. Jeffrey randomly started working on drug legalization in college and came to the conclusion that ramifications of outlawing anything would apply to all markets whether it be guns or drugs.

The topic is economics.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Cato Institute
• Libertarianism
• Bootleggers
• Ramifications of drug prohibition
• Modern Chinese commerce
• Ripple effect of bankruptcy
• Bernie Sanders campaign
• Donald Trump campaign

“It is not that the market is perfect and interventions are terrible. Markets aren’t perfect but the interventions are even worse.”

Michael,

Wow! Just listened to your Christopher Ryan Interview — one of the best interviews I’ve heard anywhere. (I’m 56 and have had a decades-long steady diet of great interviews).

You’re really one of the best interviewers around — you really put your guests at ease, and your focus on all the implications of evolutionary theory is a continuing treat for me, who was fortunate to read Darwin in an interdisciplinary undergrad program, and who read several of the great mass-audience accessible books of the mid 90s re evolution, eg by Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, etc. Also fortunate to have budget-traveled 2 1/2 yrs after undergrad all of over Europe, so appreciate your valuing of travel.

I’m also a (developing) trader and find your evol-focused programs more informative to trading than most programs anywhere that are ostensibly about trading, a big exception being your interviews with Tom Basso.

Best,
[Name]

Thanks!
