Episode notes

One of my favorite writers is Dickens uh and Dickens was a serialist he had to write all of his I think most if not all of his novels were written as magazine installments. What would what would those books be like if they were paid the way modern authors of fiction are paid for producing a final product but you're inside about the reliability based on the fact that they were sort of getting a beta version all the way through it's fantastic.

Author and economist Branko Milanovic of CUNY talks about the big questions in economics with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Milanovic argues that the Nobel Prize Committee is missing an opportunity to encourage more ambitious work by awarding the prize to economists tackling questions like the rise of China's economy and other challenging but crucial areas of scholarship. In the conversation, he lays out what those questions might be and discusses what we know and don't know in these areas.
