Why economists misframed the problem

Eric Weinstein joins Bob Murphy to discuss his work with Pia Malaney on a more economically relevant differential operator, which has important implications for cost-of-living adjustments. Eric Weinstein has a PhD in mathematics from Harvard University, and among other academic appointments was a Research Associate in the Harvard economics department from 1998 - 2001, where he co-founded the Science and Engineering Workforce Project (SEWP) with Richard Freeman, housed at the NBER and funded by the Sloan Foundation.
