Description: Episode 04: Deirdre McCloskey On episode four our host, John Papola, speaks with author, academic, and historian Deirdre McCloskey. McCloskey describes herself as “a literary, quantitative, postmodern, free-market, progressive-Episcopalian, Midwestern woman from Boston who was once a man.” Needless to say, this is a very interesting and wide-ranging conversation! Papola and McCloskey unpack economics and philosophy from Deirdre’s unique, historical point of view — including what she’s learned about economic planning. Deirdre also shares the story behind her two great transformations: From Marxism to Classical Liberalism; and from male to female.
