Episode Synopsis
Economist Jonathan Aldred reveals the extraordinary hold economics has on our morals and values.
In his new book Licence to be Bad – How Economics Corrupted Us, Aldred tells the story of how a group of economic theorists changed our world, and how a handful of key ideas, from free-riding to Nudge, seeped into our decision-making, and, indeed, almost every aspect of our lives.
