Jason Collins is the Behavioral Economics Program Director at University of Technology Sydney who thinks our current models for the interior life of humans aren’t very good. We talk about the promises and failures of economics, the overlap between human life and economic policy, the art of nudges, how AI is going to change the economic landscape, and the role of teachers in a time of hyper-functional machine recall, and much, much more.
