Episode: GOAT: Who is the greatest economist of all time?
Description: The history of economic thought has dwindled in recent years to a lecture or two in Macroeconomics in the second year. However, Keynes himself said "Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist". If you wonder if you are using the best economic thinker's arguments around the barbecue fire, there is a new book that can help. The title is GOAT: Who is the greatest economist of all time, and why does it matter?
