Making sense of the economics behind the headlines.
I'm Bryan Cutsinger, an economist at Florida Atlantic University, where I direct the graduate program in economics. My research on monetary theory, economic history, and political economy appears in journals like the European Economic Review and Public Choice, where I'm also an associate editor. I'm acting director of AIER's Sound Money Project and write the monthly Price Theory column at Econlib and commentary for National Review, The Hill, and City Journal — connecting the forces behind the headlines to the ideas that explain them.
What I speak about
Talks your audience can use.
Research-backed keynotes and lectures, shaped to the host and occasion. A few of the topics I'm asked for most.
-
Money, Rules, and Political Pressure
How central banks, elected officials, and public expectations shape monetary policy. A historically grounded talk on inflation, institutional credibility, and the limits of discretion.
-
Sound Money and Monetary Rules
What economic history reveals about discretionary monetary policy, and why predictable rules can discipline institutions better than good intentions alone.
-
Public Choice and Political Incentives
A practical introduction to public-choice economics: how incentives shape the behavior of voters, elected officials, agencies, and interest groups.
