Description & Show Notes

The Price of Policy explores the hidden economic consequences of political decisions.
Each episode examines how incentives, institutions, and trade-offs shape growth, wealth, and the welfare state.
Instead of outrage or ideology, the podcast focuses on calm analysis and empirical evidence.
It asks a simple question: what actually happens when political ideas meet economic reality?
Hosted by Matthias Rieger, economics teacher and political commentator.
