Ep 75: What Economics Can Learn


Listen Later

The study of humanity is the study of humanity. Everything is everything. And yet, different disciplines of study have imprisoned themselves in silos, refusing to learn from each other.

Welcome to Episode 75 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.

In this episode, Amit and Ajay discuss a great paper from Biju Rao that talks about what economists can learn from anthropologists and sociologists -- and how only a multidisciplinary approach can reveal the world.
