A Conversation with Brian P. Simpson on Why Markets Don't Fail

We welcome back Brian Simpson to talk about his 2005 book, Markets Don't Fail. Tune in for a lively discussion covering several topics found in most/all economic textbooks, and why those books are misleading, at best, and outright false, at worst. In essence, we prove that, Markets Don't Fail.
