James Kwak

Eric Beinhocker, Executive Director at Oxford's Institute for New Economic Thinking, and James Kwak, a law professor and author, delve into the shortcomings of traditional economic teachings. They argue that Econ 101 oversimplifies complex realities and perpetuates inequality. The discussion highlights the need for policies that encourage cooperation over self-interest and critiques outdated economic models that mislead public discourse. They advocate for a reevaluation of economics to better reflect human behavior and address pressing societal issues.
