The Mercatus Center at George Mason University recently played host to Mercatus Affiliated Scholar and 2009 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics, Elinor Ostrom.  She joined the Mercatus Center to discuss the unique research agenda of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at the Bloomington School.

During her visit, Dr. Ostrom sat down with the host of Inside State and Local Policy, Jim Musser, to discuss her pioneering work in economics, her fascinating field work and the tradition that has become known as the Bloomington School of Economics.

This video was recorded as part of our Inside State & Local Policy podcast series.
