In this week's episode we're featuring a live event from before the pandemic in which acclaimed author of 'Moneyball' and 'The Big Short', Michael Lewis joined us to discuss how Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky created the field of behavioural economics.

The event was hosted by Stephanie Flanders head of Bloomberg Economics.
