Angus Deaton: Nobel Prize Conversations
from Nobel Prize Conversations
Angus Deaton dreamed of being a pianist, a rugby player or a mathematician – but he just wasn’t good enough. After these setbacks, however, he discovered economics, and in 2015 he was awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for his analysis of consumption, poverty, and welfare. Listen to a conversation about some wild ideas, beautiful places and the role trout fishing can play in problem-solving.
