In these times of intense debate over COVID-19 and climate change policies, it is important to ask what theories and evidence we can trust - i.e. how do we know what's true or why trust science? Economics Explored host Gene Tunny tackles this topic with returning guest Tim Hughes in a first instalment of what will probably end up being a multi-episode conversation.
