b'Choices! Trade-offs! Money! How much should you save? And how much should stimulus checks be? Don\\u2019t be scared by the term \\u201ceconomics,\\u201d especially since it doesn\\u2019t end in -ology. This 2-part Economic Sociology bonanza addresses the behavior that motivates the fiscal systems of the world, from avocado toast to retirement funds. Economist, professor and \\u201cFreakonomics\\u201d co-author Steven Levitt joins to chat about why we learn too much of the wrong math and how everything from marriage to dinner parties involves little choices rooted in economic principles. Rising economics star and Harvard Fellow Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman graces us with her thoughts on macroeconomics, human capital, when to outsource your work and how she realized she loved Econ. Also: how these interviews helped me make one of my life\\u2019s biggest decisions.\\xa0\\n\\nFollow Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman at Twitter.com/itsafronomics and Instagram.com/itsafronomics\\n\\nFollow Steven Levitt at Twitter.com/stevendlevitt or Twitter.com/Freakonomics\\n\\nA donation was made to: https://www.sadiecollective.org/\\xa0\\n\\nSteven\\u2019s podcast is People I (Mostly) Admire: https://freakonomics.com/pima/\\n\\nSponsor links: www.alieward.com/ologies-sponsors\\n\\nMore links and info at alieward.com/ologies/economicsociology\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
