Explaining Economic Growth ft. Joel Mokyr
One of the central questions of economics is "Why are some countries rich and some countries poor? And how did rich countries become rich in the first place?" Economic historian Joel Mokyr joins the podcast to discuss these questions and more. Why did the Industrial Revolution happen in England, and not elsewhere? How did political fragmentation lead to the flourishing of innovations? What lessons can we draw from the Republic of Letters? And what does this teach us about promoting economic growth today? Dr. Mokyr tackles all these questions and more!
