Sylvia Nasar podcast - Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius

On September 16, 2011, Sylvia Nasar spoke at Politics & Prose about her book, Grand Pursuit, in which she follows her bestselling biography, A Beautiful Mind, by showing thinkers in action. From Alfred Marshall walking around Dickens’s London to Sen in today’s India, Nasar’s narrative history of political economics lays out the challenges society has faced since the industrial revolution proved that socio-economic status wasn’t a given, but lay within human  power to change.
