Unlearning Economics: Jon Erickson, Josh Farley, Steve Keen, Kate Raworth | Reality Roundtable #3

On this Reality Roundtable, Nate is joined by leading thinkers and educators in the field of heterodox economics. Each guest shares one fundamental aspect of what conventional economic theory gets wrong and how it could be improved in our education system. What basic assumptions about humans have led to a misunderstanding of the average person’s decision making? What areas has (mainstream) economic theory turned a blindspot to as the foundation of our economic systems? Who is finding the models and systems that economists have created useful – and how does economics as a discipline need to change in the face of a lower energy future? In short, what we teach our 18-22 year olds around the world matters – a great deal.
