My podcast with Johan Fourie and Jonathan Schoots

A really fun time with these two great interviewers on their podcast series Our Long Walk. You can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_qSYAEneAQ

Conflict and Cooperation: A History of Trade, new edition.

In a nod to the renewed sexiness of the subject of trade policy, the BBC has re-broadcast my ten-part series from 2018, with a new final episode broadcast on 2nd May. Details here. The episodes will be available for at least a year after they go out.

Can Europe Ever Catch Up to the US in Technology?

Episode 6 of the 4th season of IAST’s Crossing Channels podcast, in which Diane Coyle, Jacques Crémer and I try to cut through to the essentials in asking what Europe should do about technological innovation, under the skilful chairmanship of Richard Westcott. Listen here.

My podcast with Louise Perry

You can listen here. Very thoughtful questions from Louise, who is an excellent interviewer.

My podcast with Michael Shermer

Competing for Souls: Paul Seabright Explores Religion’s Economic Power

Michael is a great interviewer – he’d read The Divine Economy carefully and thought hard about the arguments. It lasts a bit over an hour and a half.

Should there be a compulsory retirement age for society’s leaders?

The last episode in Season 3 of the wonderful IAST Podcast series Crossing Channels is now available here, in which I take part with the excellent Diane Coyle and Ruth Mace. It’s hosted by the incomparable Rory Cellan-Jones in his farewell appearance.

Watch this space for an announcement about my book project with Guido Friebel, provisionally entitled Alternatives to Assassination: How to persuade elderly leaders to concede power gracefully.
