Join journalist Clare English and David Hume Institute Director, Susan Murray in conversation with Dr Robbie Mochrie to discuss, How to Think Like an Economist - Great Economists Who Shaped the World and What They Can Teach Us.

This whistle stop tour will span Aristotle's ideas about restraining consumption, Adam Smith's thinking about the importance of moral character for sustained economic development, and Esther Duflo's ongoing work to help the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty. It shows how the greatest economic thinkers – Karl Marx, Maynard Keynes, and Friedrich Hayek, among many others – have enabled us to see the world differently, and how we can make it better.

Robbie will discuss how economic thinking emerged, long before there were economists – and that good economics is about much more than the economy, so everyone should understand these vital ideas.

Along the way, Robbie will challenge what you think you know about economics, especially by showing how women found a place in the development of ideas even when discrimination denied them any formal role.

This event will be broadcast live on LinkedIn, X and Youtube.
