The annual AMA episode of the Odd Lots podcast involves Tracy and Joe answering listener questions on various topics, including their favorite economists, career advice, and changes in the news media.
Steve requested a cage match-style hardcore debate on the value of cryptocurrency, contrasting the view that it's a pointless scam with the belief that it is the future of finance.
Tracy has enjoyed diving into agriculture, particularly industrial agriculture, while Joe is interested in learning more about defense spending and the defense industrial base in 2025.
Joe admits he mostly has wrong takes, such as not expecting crypto to bounce back as much as it did after FTX imploded in 2020, and not anticipating the persistence of elevated inflation.
Tracy highlights the episode on companies getting smarter about pricing their products using new technology, which has led to a sense of unfairness among the general American population.
Joe feels relaxed about AI models being trained on journalist content, believing it's a big historical technological shift and that being upset about it won't change the situation.
Both Tracy and Joe favor Keynes, citing his foundational role in modern economics theory and his exceptional writing skills, including memorable quotes and insights into economic perceptions.
Joe advises young professionals to focus on doing their current job well, as this will open more doors for them, rather than trying to predict or plan their future career path.
As is becoming something of an annual tradition here, we recently asked Odd Lots listeners to send in any questions they have about the show to Tracy and Joe, via voice memo. We took as many as we could, and answered questions on all kinds of things, ranging from our favorite economists to career advice to changes in how the news media operates.
