Ep 02: The Science behind Indian-ness
In the second episode of Jack of all knowledge, I use tools of behavioral economics and Game theory to try to understand why we Indians, behave a certain way. I also talk about the role that heuristics & cognitive biases play in determining what type of decisions we take and what the central clash between classical and behavioural economics is. This episode is based on the book 'Games Indians Play' by V Raghunathan. Link to the broadcast: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IInZ5GIhjNRLWcKXubqBOy
