The Past Speaks

This week’s episode of the EconTalk podcast is particularly good. In it, Phil Rosenzweig, professor of strategy and international business at IMD in Switzerland and author of the book Left Brain, Right Stuff: How Leaders Make Winning Decisions talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about his book.

Last year, two of my (more senior) colleagues Robin Holt and Mike Zundel published “Understanding Management, Trade, and Society Through Fiction: Lessons from The Wire.” Academy of Management Review 39, no. 4 (2014): 576-585. If you liked this article, or the TV show The Wire, you will definitely like the recent EconTalk podcast in which David Skarbek, a political economist at King’s College London discusses his book The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System.
