Podcast Details
Dr. Tom Lehman joined us to discuss the issue of economics as it applies to the payday loan industry in general and, specifically, to tell us about the economic theory underpinning his article, "In Defense of Payday Lending."
Published in late 2003 by the Ludwig von Mises Institute, an economic think tank, "In Defense of Payday Lending" has become a seminal article about the industry that makes a case for less industry regulation while taking industry critics to task. The article is often provided as a counterpoint to material by industry naysayers.
