Nat O'Connor06/11/2009

Nat O'Connor: I found this BBC Analysis podcast to be a good overview of the crisis in the economics profession. I particularly liked the discussion about returning economics to a closer relationship with political philosophy.

Note: It is only available to listen to until around 8th November
