  • 173: Stephen Wright on Core Econ as a Learning Resource for Mainstream Economics
    Jan 28 2019

    This is an excerpt from a previous conversation that I had with Professor Stephen Wright but was unreleased at the time.

    We felt it appropriate that it should be released at a time if I ever spoke to Professor Wendy Carlin. This day is coming and now this part of my conversation with Stephen can be released.

    Check out the links over at www.economicrockstar.com/coreecon.
