46: What's Wrong With Economics? (ft. Rob Levy)


Listen Later

We are living in unprecedented economic times - a whole generation will be worse off than their parents - what went wrong?! Economist Rob Levy sorts the myths from the money and explains why "a lot of economics is balls". Get your tenners ready for our irrational Ultimatum Game and find out why government austerity is very different from personal jam-induced debt - Matilda even learns a new word, profligate. Try using that in conversation.
