The Invisible Nudge - Dr. Jason Collins, Behavioral Economist

Jason Collins is the Behavioral Economics Program Director at
University of Technology Sydney who thinks our current models for
the interior life of humans aren’t very good. We talk about the
promises and failures of economics, the overlap between human
life and economic policy, the art of nudges, how AI is going to
change the economic landscape, and the role of teachers in a time
of hyper-functional machine recall, and much, much more.
