Podcast appearances and mentions of Charles Wheelan

What happens when politics and economics collide? Josh sits down with Charles Wheelan, economist, Dartmouth professor, and author of the best-selling Naked Economics series, to explore the financial and political forces shaping our world. From ranked choice voting to the realities of inflation, global risks, and government spending, Charles breaks down why these issues matter and how they affect everything from your investments to your daily life. Josh and Charles get into the push for political reform, the challenges of balancing capitalism and democracy, and why some economic myths just won't die. They also take a detour into Charles' experiences traveling the world, how different cultures handle money, and what his time in the Amazon taught him about life and economics.

Welcome to the AMSE Science Report.  It seems that we are bombarded every day with a lot of statistics, but for many of us, the meaning of all those numbers, and how they were compiled, can be a bit mysterious.  That's why I was glad to speak on our podcast, AMSEcast, with Charles Wheelan about his book Naked Statistics: Stripping the Dread from the Data.  Charles makes the complicated world of statistics quite understandable and relatable. For example, we often hear the terms median and mean, or average.  But what is the difference between those terms?

Episode 42 is all about books that are "Informational but easy to digest" based on a question from Britt via Instagram.  Due to her busy schedule  - starting with owning a store and getting married in early July, Allie was unable to join us and sent Jen in her place.

Dr. Charles Wheelan will join us to discuss the mission and work of Unite America Unite America is a political organization dedicated to bridging the growing partisan divide and fostering a more representative and functional government. Charles Wheelan is a senior lecturer and policy fellow at the Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College. He joined the Dartmouth faculty fulltime in June of 2012. He has been selected as one of Dartmouth's ten best professors by three different graduating classes. He teaches courses on education policy, health care, tax policy, income inequality, and related topics. In March of 2009, Wheelan ran unsuccessfully for Congress as the representative from the Illinois 5th District in the special election to replace Rahm Emanuel. In its editorial assessing the race, the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, “Voters will find a ballot filled with impressive and thoughtful candidates . . . especially Charlie Wheelan, a University of Chicago lecturer who combines a razor-sharp mind with a boatload of charm and an impressive expertise in economics and foreign policy. We expect great things from Wheelan in the future.” From 1997 to 2002, Wheelan was the Midwest correspondent for The Economist. His story on America's burgeoning ex-convict population was the August 10, 2002, cover story. He has written freelance articles for the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and other publications. Wheelan holds a Ph.D. in public policy from the University of Chicago, a Master's in Public Affairs from Princeton University, and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. He lives in Hanover, New Hampshire.

In episode 4, Dr. Charles Wheelan discusses his New York Times Best-Selling book Naked Economics, which is for “smart people who never studied economics.” He also highlights his time as both a Dartmouth student and professor, gives his opinion on whether the world should be run by economists, and shares his experience as a candidate for Congress.  Dartmouth College is home to a unique department of economics, with faculty who combine cutting-edge research with exceptional teaching and mentoring of its undergraduate students. The Big Green Economics podcast with Gabe Gottesman '26 tells the story of the Department of Economics at Dartmouth, highlighting a professor's research in one bite-sized episode.

Publishing a book with no graphs is quite the feat in the world of economics. But that's part of Charles Wheelan's mission: using storytelling to get his point across.In this episode, Charles Wheelan joins host Greg LaBlanc. Charles is a senior lecturer and policy fellow at the Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College and teaches courses on education policy, health care, tax policy, income inequality, and related topics. He is also the author of numerous books, including Naked Money, Naked Statistics, and Naked Economics.And how writing fiction as relief from his thesis led to his debut novel The Rationing, weighing pandemic risks, life lessons from his gap year after college, and the value of going to college itself.Episode Quotes:On his teaching mission:"The reason I steer away from the graphs is if I don't do it frequently enough, I forget where the triangle goes, now I have to figure it out again. But if I teach externalities appropriately, they will never forget what it is. They will just instantly recognize any situation, whether it's noise from a neighboring apartment or climate change as an externality. So what I strive to do is just create a relationship with a material where it becomes part of them permanently. They just understand it, you know, once you understand gravity, it's not like you forget it.""And I increasingly give almost no exams and depend instead on projects and discussions and other kinds of things that are more likely to stick with you."On the COVID-19 Pandemic:"I also think that having done public policy for my whole adult life now, people are just really bad at trade-offs in public life. They just can't get their mind around the fact that something is not all good or all bad. And of course, the pandemic is one big trade-off. If you want to minimize deaths and transmission, you got to do some things that are very costly to the economy." Show Links:Charles Wheelan WebsiteFacebookTwitterOrder Book: The RationingOrder Book: Naked MoneyOrder Book: Naked StatisticsOrder Book: 10 ½ Things No Commencement Speaker Has Ever SaidOrder Book: Naked Economics

Charles Wheelan is the Founder and Co-Chair of Unite America. He is a senior lecturer and policy fellow at the Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College, a former correspondent for The Economist. He has been selected as one of Dartmouth's ten best professors by three different graduating classes. He teaches courses on education policy, health care, tax policy, income inequality, and related topics. Wheelan teaches the Practicum in Global Policy Leadership in which he travels with students to examine an international policy topic. In years past, the class has visited India, Israel, Jordan, Liberia, Turkey, Rwanda, Madagascar, Northern Ireland, Brazil, Liberia, and Colombia.

Unite America is a political organization dedicated to bridging the growing partisan divide and fostering a more representative and functional government. From debt ceiling standoffs to single-digit Congress approval ratings, America's political system has never been more polarized—or paralyzed—than it is today. Unite America grew out of Wheelan's 2013 book The Centrist Manifesto In 2013, Wheelan published Naked Statistics: Stripping the Dread from the Data (W.W. Norton). Shortly after publication, the book reached the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover nonfiction. The New York Times called the book “sparkling and intensely readable.” The same year, he published The Centrist Manifesto, which calls for a new political party “of the middle.

To some degree, all Americans realize we've become more polarized in recent times. Those at one extreme obsess about the other, while those in between wonder if that incessant tug of war will fray our social fabric to the breaking point. Fortunately, there are committed individuals and groups working hard to combat polarization. In Part Two of our season finale (“We're Polarized; Now What?”), we highlight this important work. First off, the anti-gerrymandering efforts of the Campaign Legal Center, founded by Trevor Potter (former Chair of the Federal Election Commission). Then John Opdycke, President of the non-profit Open Primaries, explains why the opening of closed primaries to independent voters is an important means of combating gerrymandering and polarizing primaries. And Scott Siebel of Fair Vote discusses why Ranked Choice Voting (now adopted in Maine and Alaska at the state level) is an important prescription for our political ills.   And what analysis of U.S. politics would be complete without discussion of money? In light of the new high of $14 billion spent on the 2020 election cycle, Joan Mandle, Executive Director of Democracy Matters, outlines some methods for reigning in the influence of money on elections and policy. Last but not least, we visit with Charles Wheelan, founder of Unite America and our first featured guest on Season One of the Purple Principle. He recounts the strategic shifts at Unite America toward electing moderates from both parties and the legislative progress that might then accrue.  If you think U.S. politics is broken, you might be right. But these and other democracy repair experts are hard at work. Tune in to restore some optimism on the path ahead, daunting as that may seem. And please stay tuned to Season Two of the Purple Principle, launching in March.  Original music by Ryan Adair Rooney.

In his book based on a commencement speech he gave at Dartmouth College in 2011, Charles Wheelan tells a story about advice he never forgot and wants to pass on to graduates: Don't try to be great. Let's put the pandemic aside, discover the freedom in that counter-intuitive advice, and give three cheers to the students, teachers, and families of the graduating class of 2020. Listen in.

Join me as I read the Introduction and Chapter 1 What's the Point of Naked Statistics by Charles Wheelan. … More Naked Statistics, Intro and Chapter 1, Whats the Point by Charles Wheelan

In this episode, I had a conversation with my former Professor from Dartmouth College, Charles Wheelan. Wheelan has had an illustrious career as an academic and and as an author, having written best-sellers Naked Economics & Naked Statistics. We talk about economics, government and everything in between. 

Consider the $20 bill. It has no more value, as a simple slip of paper, than Monopoly money. Yet even children recognize that tearing one into small pieces is an act of inconceivable stupidity. What makes a $20 bill actually worth twenty dollars? In the third volume of his best-selling Naked series, Charles Wheelan uses this seemingly simple question to open the door to the surprisingly colorful world of money and banking.

Imagine there's a virus living inside you. This virus is harmless. Most of the time. But then, something causes it to change and it could kill you unless you take one dose of a powerful drug. Now imagine there is a critical shortage of this drug. This is the scary scenario at the heart of the debut novel by Hanover resident and Dartmouth professor Charles Wheelan. It's called The Rationing, but this isn't a book about a disease. It's a political satire about how the United States government handles the unfolding public health crisis. Personalities clash. Political ambitions get in the way of productive discussion. Fake News opportunists muddy the waters and foreign countries take advantage of a vulnerable United States. Charles Wheelan joined NHPR's Peter Biello to talk about his new book.

This week Allison Hartsoe summarizes and reviews the book, Naked Statistics by Charles Wheelan.  At the end of this podcast you should either feel like you’ve read the book or you should feel that you want to read more detail, perhaps in a specific part of the book.

(https://bit.ly/2qeuW3m)How does your money move around? In other words, you write me a check, how does the money get from your account to mine? What makes a $20 bill worth $20? And how does Bitcoin work? These questions and more are answered by my guest Charles Wheelan, who teaches economics at Dartmouth and is author of the book Naked Money (https://amzn.to/2qb0N58) You probably have an ice maker in your freezer. If so , you should be aware that your ice maker has its own heater to keep it from freezing and that little heater is costing you. (http://science.time.com/2011/04/14/how-the-ice-in-your-drink-is-imperiling-the-planet/) One reason that happiness can be so hard to find is because our brains aren’t wired for happiness – they are wired for survival. Rick Hanson, author of the book Hardwiring Happiness (https://amzn.to/2uY5Hr4) reveals how, with a little effort, you can rewire the brain so happiness becomes part of who you are

EPISODE 50: CHARLES WHEELAN, AUTHOR, THE CENTRIST MANIFESTO by Michael Golden

Join Carlos as he explores Psychology of Statistics with Charles Wheelan.Once considered tedious, the field of statistics is rapidly evolving into a discipline Hal Varian, chief economist at Google, has actually called “sexy.” From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you'll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.For those who slept through Stats 101, this book is a lifesaver. Wheelan strips away the arcane and technical details and focuses on the underlying intuition that drives statistical analysis. He clarifies key concepts such as inference, correlation, and regression analysis, reveals how biased or careless parties can manipulate or misrepresent data, and shows us how brilliant and creative researchers are exploiting the valuable data from natural experiments to tackle thorny questions.And in Wheelan's trademark style, there's not a dull page in sight. You'll encounter clever Schlitz Beer marketers leveraging basic probability, an International Sausage Festival illuminating the tenets of the central limit theorem, and a head-scratching choice from the famous game show Let's Make a Deal—and you'll come away with insights each time. With the wit, accessibility, and sheer fun that turned Naked Economics into a bestseller, Wheelan defies the odds yet again by bringing another essential, formerly unglamorous discipline to life.Charles Wheelan is the author of the internationally best-selling Naked Economics and Naked Statistics and a former correspondent for The Economist, and founder of The Centrist Party. He teaches public policy and economics at Dartmouth College and lives in Hanover, New Hampshire, with his family.

Consider the $20 bill.

Charles Wheelan is a lecturer in economics at Dartmouth and has authored five books.  He joins us to discuss statistics, politics, and the economy.  Economics is the study of how we allocate scarce resources.  Poverty, health, education, are all affected by how we allocate resources so understanding that can help us to do a better, more fair job at that allocating.  To make money, you have to produce value.  Part of the reason for stagnant middle-class wages is because the value it used to produce is now being produced more cheaply, either through technology or outsourcing to countries where wages are very low.  Money is not the only factor in economics.  Sometimes money can stop people from doing something.  Organ donation for example.  Tying it to money makes people less likely to do it. Sometimes altruism is a greater driver than monetary gain.  Most people will stay where you put them.  Many people don’t save for retirement.  Some companies now automatically enroll new employees in 401K plans.  The employee is free to exit the plan or change it but most people will just default to what the company chose.  Sometimes a small guaranteed incentive is less effective than a larger, but not guaranteed one.  Getting $5 each time you go to the gym is less attractive to people than going to the gym and being entered into a raffle to win a car.  This is why people play the lottery.  Statistics are useful because they can be used to infer patterns.  Recognizing and using the patterns can make you more money, or just help you to do things better.  Which will probably earn you more money!  Most people are pretty poor at appreciating probability.  So we worry about Ebola but cross against the light.  But the odds of getting Ebola are much smaller than the odds of getting hit by a car.  Charles is a passive investor, an Index Fund guy.  So the Dartmouth professor shares the LMM philosophy of buy and hold!  The longer your horizon, the smoother the booms and busts level out for you.  Charles is very politically active.  He advocates for a Centrist Party, where people who feel alienated by the Republicans and Democrats can join together.  We need something better in the middle, where most of us dwell. It was great to interview a guest who understands economics and is actively trying to improve the short comings of our current two party system.   Show Notes Amazon:  Charles Wheelan’s books.

Charles Wheelan '88, Senior Lecturer and Policy Fellow at the Rockefeller Center Professor Wheelan argues that the United States needs an insurgency of the rational: a generation of Americans who are fed up with the current political system, who believe we can do better, and most important, who are ready to do something about it. Wheelan has laid out a strategy for electing a handful of Centrist U.S. Senators who could exercise extraordinary intellectual and political leverage from the political middle. (vs. Columbia)
