Episode summary
Erik Angner is a professor of philosophy at King's College London, researcher, and author. Economists are usually concerned with macro trends. Money, finances.

Expect to learn what economics says are the 4 pillars of living a good life, why everyone hates philosophers, whether all old Japanese people should kill themselves, why economists get such a bad wrap, how to maximise your happiness from an economic perspective, whether there is a difference between men and women's happiness, how to break your addiction to material possessions and much more...
