How to live with economic doomsaying | Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak
Economic crises can and do happen. But for every true crisis, there are many false alarms, says economist Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak. He explains how to live with the media's pervasive economic doomsaying, why we should stop treating financial forecasts like a precise science \u2014 and what we should embrace instead. After the talk, Modupe shares why she\u2019s a \u201crational optimist\u201d about economic narratives \u2014 and what "rational optimism" means to her.\xa0
