This week we speak with Abby Hall Blanco, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Tampa. Abby teaches a variety of economics classes, while also conducting a wide range of research with a focus on Austrian economics, the political economy and public choice and defense and peace economics.
Together, we discuss how the economics of public choice and related behaviors can impact the business community. We also chatted about the bad reputation some new college graduates have in the workforce, and what employers can look for when hiring the next generation.
