Foundations of Economics — Ideology, Models, and Economic “Common Sense” (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Foundations of Economics: A Beginner’s Companion by Yanis Varoufakis as a systems-level analysis of how economics constructs authority by presenting value-laden assumptions as objective science.
