0005 - Mullainathan & Shafir: Scarcity
Listen now
Description
In this episode, I talk about an important book I enjoyed greatly: Scarcity By Mullainathan and Shafir. They argue that not having enough (of whatever: money, time, etc.) leads to a scarcity mindset that fundamentally alters how people think and behave. Sometimes these changes can be beneficial, but often they exacerbate the existing problem.

In this episode, I talk about a short collection of speeches that Camus gave. The title speech - Create Dangerously - discusses what art has been shaped in the mid-20th century and what artists should do. There wasn’t a huge amount for me in this book, but maybe this review will be useful to you.
