Economic Impact | Pilot 2 | John Komlos | Foundations of Real-world Economics | 6-16-23

Professor Tom Lambert brings you the second edition of a new program on Forward Radio focused on exploring our political economy to get at deeper truths about why our economy and society is the way it is and what we could do to make it better for everyone! Tune in to hear an increasingly rare perspective on these issues - that of a heterodox economist.

On this week's program, Tom interviews John Komlos, author of the book "Foundations of Real-world Economics: What Every Economics Student Needs to Know." John Komlos is a professor emeritus of economics and of economic history at the University of Munich. He has also taught at Harvard, Duke and the University of Vienna.
