What is the most useful model for understanding human economic behavior? This episode stages a foundational Debate between two opposing views of human nature. One host, channeling the ideas of Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations, argues for the model of the rational actor. They contend that while not perfect, a model of people as rational agents pursuing their own self-interest is the most powerful and predictive tool for understanding markets and economies. The other host, drawing on the research of Daniel Kahneman in Thinking, Fast and Slow, argues that this model is fundamentally flawed. They believe that a model based on the predictable irrationality of human psychology provides a much more accurate and useful picture of how people actually behave.
