GUEST OVERVIEW: Josiah R. Baker is an assistant professor of financial economics at Methodist University and an adjunct associate professor of economics and geography at George Mason University. He is the author of several books on economics, politics and religion. So all of the topics you are not supposed to talk about. Then a couple of years back, Josiah teamed up with Ulf Sandstrom and together turned the tables on the problems of the day and focussed on the solutions.
