Rethinking Podcast

Peter Tkatchenko, the co-founder of decommercializing Durham joins us to talk about his views on the Marxian-structuralist perspective, and on the different educational systems of the US and the UK.  We discuss questions such as: Does being an extravert help with activism? How would you change economic education? How should higher education be structured? On top of that we talk about the ethical ideas in economics that have underlying value judgements that you never learnt were there. We hope you enjoy this episode and see a new perspective.
