Communism, Gaming, and Larry Summers: 50,000 Subscriber Q & A

An unreasonably long Q & A, there were too many good questions! No visuals bar the questions themselves, you can listen to it like a podcast :) My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/unlearneconom...​ My Twitter: http://twitter.com/UnlearnEcon​ Production & Music by Hobbie Stuart https://www.youtube.com/HobbieStuartM...​ Artwork by Jacob Cob © 2021 Unlearning Economics I am an academic economist from the UK who has long been critical of the economics profession and how economics is used in public policy. Mostly the channel will cover economics with a critical perspective but I aim to educate people about economics in the process, so I'll try to explain key concepts and ideas along the way. That way, even if you disagree with aspects of the videos you will hopefully learn something from them. Subscribe for more!
