Eric Beinhocker, Professor of Practice in Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and the founder and Executive Director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the University’s Oxford Martin School, is the guest of Thibault Schrepel for this edition of Scaling Theory Podcast.
Eric is the author of numerous academic articles and books, including The Origin of Wealth: Evolution, Complexity, and the Radical Remaking of Economics (2007).
In this conversation, Eric and Thibault contrast traditional economics (neoclassical theory) with new economics (complexity economics). They also explore the policy implications of these differing economic theories, discussing topics ranging from aggressive growth strategies to complexity catastrophes in digital economies.
