Dr. Jerry Muller is Ordinary Professor of History at the Catholic University of America, where he teaches courses on historical and contemporary subjects, including capitalism; nationalism; conservatism; the history of social, political, economic, and religious thought; and modern German and Jewish history. He’s also the author of books like The Mind and the Market, Capitalism and the Jews, and, the most recent one, The Tyranny of Metrics.
In this episode, we talk about the conditions that favored the development of the industrial revolution in England; the philosophy of capitalism, and the several disputes; the relevance of Marxism; capitalism and its varieties; the importance of economic inequality; and Dr. Muller’s latest book, The Tyranny of Metrics.
