That ring can only bring one thing.
It's the PlanetMoney Summer School, your easy listening, hard thinking, audio economics degree.
and the only education you can get these days without putting on pants or taking on debt.
I'm your host Robert Smith.
This is the sixth year we've done summer school,
six years of taking the biggest ideas in economics and packing them up like a beach read for your ears.
If you've been enrolled with us since the very start,
your parents might be wondering if you're finally a doctor yet.
Soon.
Soon.
Of course, you may be asking, Robert,
we have already done whole summers on micro and macro economics.
We've learned about investing, entrepreneurship, and the economic history of the world.
What else is there?
Well, this summer, we will tackle the biggest economic player of them all, the government.
As you might have noticed,
the biggest debates in our country right now are about how much government should be up in our business.
