Ep. 32 - Under the Influence: Economics and Climate Change
Update: 2020-01-30
Description
In this special episode we interview Robert Frank, economist and author of the new book Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work. He talks about using social and economic theories to encourage more climate-conscious behavior, and proposes structures for carbon taxes that wouldn't require painful sacrifices from anyone.
As he says in the interview, "every little bit helps, way more than you think."
