Greg Rosalsky is a producer at Freakonomics Radio in New York and writes about economics, science, and policy. His career began in the plains of Iowa working for an underdog candidate named Barack Obama, and he subsequently served as a researcher at the White House in the early years of the Obama Administration. He earned a master's degree at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School, where he studied economics and public policy.
Economists have widely embraced the behavioral-economics revolution, but their textbooks have not. The “standard model” continues to dominate Econ 101 and introduce new generations to a neoclassical fantasyland.
