Growth and the Character of Society, With Benjamin Friedman

Economics is about more than the economy. It also intersects
public and private institutions, culture, religion, morality, and
politics. Rob and Jackie explored these subjects with Benjamin
Friedman, a professor of Political Economy at Harvard and author
of The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth and Religion and the
Rise of Capitalism.
