Episode description

New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca revisits Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Professor of Economics at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Mario Macis. Dr. Macis breaks down the concept of scarcity economics, reflects on whether or not finding a golden ticket was truly left to chance alone and gets into our irrationality when it comes to low probability events. Afterward, Patreon subscribers can hear the post interview discussion with Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Will the verdict hold up?! The Alarmist is sponsored by BetterHelp.
