Bobbleheads on Spikes: The (Selfish) Case for Rules, with David Epstein
About this episode
David Epstein discusses the importance of rules in society and markets, arguing they facilitate progress rather than hinder it.
Whether it's A.I. companies pirating millions of books or NBA owners violating the salary cap, the most powerful entities in America are trying to circumvent laws created to restrain them. Bestselling author and investigative journalist David Epstein (no relation!) makes the case for why rules are not obstacles to progress, but the opposite: the very things that make a society — and a market — free. • Pre-order David Epstein's new book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better Hosted on Acast.
