Roger Myerson

Roger Myerson, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and University of Chicago professor, dives into the fascinating interplay of economics and democracy. He discusses how local governance supports national stability and highlights Ukraine's decentralization as a case study in effective local leadership during conflict. Myerson also shares insights on mechanism design, auction theory, and the influence of ancient political thought on modern economics. With a playful nod to harmonica tuning, he encourages researchers to focus on intuition and real-world problems.
