Ricardo's Dream

<p>Nat Dyer is an author, journalist, and economist. His recent (and first) book is Ricardo’s Dream: How Economists Forgot the Real World and Led Us Astray. I’ve seen Nat’s work with the organisation/website Promoting Economic Pluralism, but I didn’t realise he had a book in the works! He emailed me offering to send a copy over and we agreed to chat about this topic. Obviously, the idea of economists getting lost in modelling is one that I’ve spoken about plenty.</p><br /><p>Nat's book was excellent, as I told him in the interview, and it was a fun and freewheeling discussion about some really important stuff. Enjoy!</p><br /><p>You can get Nat’s book here:</p><p>https://www.natdyer.com/ricardos-dream/</p><br /><p>Originally Recorded on Jun 18, 2025</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
