On this week's program, we discuss the economic impacts of professional and college sports on Louisville with Dr. Michael Bewley, a lecturer at Purdue University on Economic Analysis, Biometrics, and Supply Chains. Dr. Bewley has a PhD in Economics from the University of Kentucky. He also serves as President and CEO of the Louisville-based Enalysis company, providing survey research and economic analysis for many types of clients. Economic Impact is a weekly discussion and review of economic issues and topics at the national, state and local levels. There is a particular emphasis on items affecting the Louisville metro area and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The perspectives offered will be those from "heterodox economics." Heterodox economics, as opposed to orthodox or mainstream economics or "neoclassical" economics, is more eclectic in its approach to economics and allows pluralism of views and concepts. It also harkens back to when economics and political science were pretty much joined together in one discipline called political economy. Today's economists do not like the term "political economy", but Tom thinks they miss a lot by assuming that markets exist in a vacuum and that all consumers/people are either nearly perfectly rational or completely rational. Professor Lambert is in the Economics department at UofL and has recently been assigned to their equine industry programs as an applied economist. Prior to UofL, he taught full time for Northern Kentucky University in their Master of Public Administration program for several years. Before that he was with the economics department at IU Southeast for many years. Professor Lambert has a MS in economics from UK and a PhD in Urban and Public Affairs from UofL with a concentration in urban economics and economic development. Economic Impact airs on Forward Radio WFMP Louisville 106.5fm and forwardradio.org on Mondays at 6am, and Tuesdays at 11am and 7:30pm.
Look alive, ladies (complimentary)! Today we're digging into Clint Eastwood's 1986 war...comedy(?) HEARTBREAK RIDGE with Laurie R. Lambert, associate professor of African and African American Studies at Fordham University and author of the book Comrade Sister: Caribbean Feminist Revisions of the Grenada Revolution. We talk about the film's extremely casual engagement with the facts of the 1983 American invasion of Grenada, consider its failure as a satire, if that's even what it's trying to do, and heap a lot of praise on Damani Baker's excellent documentary THE HOUSE ON COCO ROAD. Check it out! Topics include: whether this is Clint doing STRIPES, misogyny and homophobia as essential parts of masculinity, reference points for the population and size of Grenada, favorite plants, Cuba's foreign policy both real and imagined, Mario Van Peebles, relatedly JAWS: THE REVENGE, and more!

A century ago in 1922, British historian and strategist Sir Julian Corbett died. Sir Julian's contribution as a historian places him amongst the great scholars and thinkers of military history and strategic studies, alongside the likes of theorist Carl Von Clauzwitz. This episode features Professor Andrew Lambert, Laughton Professor of Naval History in the Department of War Studies, on his new book 'The British Way of War, Julian Corbett and the Battle for a National Strategy'. He talks to guest presenter Dr James W E Smith, a researcher in the Department of War Studies, about why Corbett ranks amongst the greats of military strategic studies, and how he coined the concept of a ‘British way of war'. Lambert discusses how Corbett's ideas were catastrophically ignored in 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War, but went on to help shape Britain's naval successes in the Second World War. Professor Lambert also shares the importance Sir Julian placed on history, as a tool in the intellectual armour of militaries, and his mastery in garnering useful insight from studying Britain's military past to create a national strategy for Britain. Although Corbett would eventually fall from recognition, a century on, Lambert argues, Corbett's importance as a historian and strategist is finally being recognised more and made accessible to the public.

In this episode, David Lambert, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, discusses his new research on the idea of Scripture, especially in the context of ancient Judaism. Professor Lambert suggests that the concept of "assemblages" is a productive way to understanding the development of, and interactions with, religious texts in antiquity. He also discusses the relevance of these ideas for contemporary interactions with the Bible, both religious and non-religious.

Andrew Lambert, Professor of Naval History at King’s College, London, author of eighteen books, and winner of the prestigious Anderson Medal—turns his attention in a book that historian Felipe Fernandez Armesto describes as full of ‘ambition’, ‘verve’ and at times ‘brilliance’ - to Athens, Carthage, Venice, the Dutch Republic, and Britain. In Seapower States: Maritime Culture, Continental Empires and the Conflict That Made the Modern World (Yale UP, 2018), Professor Lambert, examines how each of these polities identities as “seapowers” informed and determined their individual histories and enabled them to achieve success disproportionate to their size. Lambert by delving into the intricacies of each of these seapowers is able to show how creating maritime identities made these states more dynamic, open, and inclusive than their lumbering continental rivals. Only when they forgot this aspect of their identity did these states begin to decline. Recognizing that the United States and China are modern naval powers—rather than seapowers—is essential to understanding current affairs, as well as the long-term trends in world history. This volume is a highly original “big think” analysis of five states whose success—and eventual failure—is a subject of enduring interest, by a someone who is perhaps the leading naval scholar in the Anglophone world to-day. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

Government regulation is pervasive, complex and expensive to administer. Americans have a vital interest and real need to understand how the current regulatory system can best be improved and made to achieve its laudable objectives for health, safety and environmental protection using means that are both cost-effective and fully consistent with the rule of law. But can we make the regulatory system more effective without strengthening the administrative state and undermining the rule of law? Can regulatory reform be pursued in a manner that is compatible with the rule of law?This Teleforum brings together two speakers well-versed in regulation and regulatory reform. Professor Lambert and Mr. Davis will describe and discuss their differing approaches to reform, and their differing perspectives on the fundamental assumptions that undergird the current regulatory system.Featuring:J.
