THE MAP AND THE TERRITORY Risk, Human Nature, and the Future of Forecasting

Greenspan provides a fascinating critical review of how economics as a field can be improved using current technology and the knowledge afforded to humans in the last 40 years. The complex conversation is rendered accessible through the skillful voice of Malcolm Hillgartner. Economics is a challenging subject for most, and though Greenspan attempts to make it accessible, it really is Hillgartner who balances his use of emphasis and pace to help listeners following the nuanced elements of the material. His grasp of Greenspan’s prose and conversational tone will be appreciated. It also helps that Hillgartner has a deep, reverberating voice that draws listeners’ attention.
