4: The Fringe, sci-fi economics, habits of the rich, 4000 weeks of life, and more

Aug 18, 2013

We talked about:

• Making News and Ronny Chieng at the Edinburgh Fringe
• How science fiction concepts are influencing contemporary economists (including Paul Krugman's paper, The Theory of Interstellar Trade)
• 20 habits of the rich
• Living as if you don't have all the time in the world
• Naomi's translation kerfuffle (listen to the Front Row episode in question)
• 'Facebook is bad for you'

Andrea Phillips will be rejoining us next week. Apologies for the occasionally poor audio quality!
