Is a prediction market just gambling in a financial suit? Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour says no: a casino bets against you, while an exchange simply matches buyers and sellers and takes no side. Host Ryan Bourne asks him about prediction markets' forecasting records, how businesses can use these event contracts to hedge risk, and the turf war over who regulates them, Washington or the states.

Economics isn't just about stock markets or GDP numbers. It's the study of the choices we all make when time, money, land, energy, and attention are limited. On The Economics of It, Cato Institute economist Ryan Bourne sits down each week with leading economists, thinkers, and authors to uncover the hidden economics behind today's biggest debates. From rent control to tariffs, AI to the cost of war, if it's making headlines, there's economics behind it. Each episode goes beyond the talking points with clear economic reasoning, asking how policies actually play out, who benefits, who bears the costs, and what unintended consequences follow. New episodes every Thursday, starting October 29th. Subscribe so you don't miss one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
