Linus Mattauch: 'Reflections on how basic narratives about capitalism influence economic research'
In his final seminar as Deputy Director of INET Oxford's Economics of Sustainability Programme, Linus Mattauch reflected on how basic societal narratives (such as “Capitalism is exploitation” and “Capitalism is liberation” - see Haidt, 2015) might influence economists' models and research design. He also discussed how such ideas guided his past and future agenda.
