EconRoots Talk - McCloskey: We should aim to be worldly philosophers

Welcome to Econ Root. A podcast on the history of Economic Thought brought to you by CEPOS and your host Stefan Sløk-Madsen. As a bonus to our regular seasons we aim to bring you exciting interviews with relevant and stimulating economists and scholars within or related to the field of economics. We call these, Econ Roots talk.  In today’s talk we are honored to be joined by Professor Deirdre McCloskey. She is a world leading scholar in economic history and economic method. She is the recipient of numerous awards and titles and is popularly known for her work on bourgeois values. In todays talk, which was recorded at September 9 2021 in Copenhagen, we also get some rare and unique personal reflections on the modern history of economics - a lot of which she personally experienced.
