Smith and Marx Walk into a Bar: A History of Economics Podcast

Co-hosts Carlos Eduardo Suprinyak and Scott Scheall are joined by Hans-Michael Trautwein, Professor of Economics at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg and Past President of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought (ESHET). The conversation covers the relationship between business-cycle theorizing and macroeconomics, the current state of macroeconomics ten years after the financial crisis, the study of economics and its history in China, and Hans-Michael's argument that historians of economics are the field's "last generalists."
