A professor of economics with a PhD from the ultimate monetarist school throws down a gauntlet, albeit in a considerably more civil manner than I’ve come to expect from my critics:
I’ve recently started a podcast called Future Strategist and I would love to interview you by Skype audio. We could discuss political correctness and debate free trade. While I do not support open borders for people, I do support free trade in goods and while I doubt I could get you to change your opinion I hopefully wouldn’t underwhelm you as have other economists.

Associate Professor of Economics, Smith College

I have accepted Dr. Miller’s challenge to debate free trade. More details to come.
By the way, he’s the author of Game Theory at Work, so he’s obviously a smart guy. We’re going to do one podcast discussion of political correctness first – he obviously won his 2003 tenure battle – and then we’ll do the debate, Game Theorist vs Game Designer.
UPDATE: Dr. Miller and I have decided to simply do the free trade debate, and we’ll do it at the Brainstorm on Wednesday. Invitations have already gone out to the Brainstorm members. Once all the members interested have taken their seats, I’ll open the remaining ones up to everyone else on a first-come, first-serve basis.
This is the sort of thing that Brainstorm makes possible, so if you want to be a part of it, consider signing up for an annual membership.
