- A great way for me to start work in 2026 by talking with Steven Spierer on his TalkOne Radio show (www.talkradioone.com/next-steven-...)
- Mostly about my book projects - he had read "How to Think like an Economist" and was full of intelligent, probing questions about many of the great economists who appear in that book. [https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/how-to-think-like-an-economist-9781399408646/]Jan 3, 2026 21:51
- But we also had time to discuss my current work on how Maynard Keynes managed to achieve such great influence in politics in the 1930s as countries tried to find routes out of the Great Depression.
- Fewer mentions of Adam Smith and "Wealth of Nations", although I did manage a quick tie in to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the USA. And also a quick reminder of the good work which the Library of Mistakes does. (www.libraryofmistakes.com)
