The Self-Improvement Lie
While there is *obvious value in being self directed and having personal goals, for anyone who has ever struggled in this current system knows that essentially in order to get out if any struggle, we must rely on others. In other words - to be our best selves we must depend on others.

Unlearning Economics
I am an academic economist from the UK who has long been critical of the economics profession and how economics is used in public policy. Mostly the channel will cover economics with a critical perspective but I aim to educate people about economics in the process, so I'll try to explain key concepts and ideas along the way. That way, even if you disagree with aspects of the videos you will hopefully learn something from them. I am interested in more than just economics and will likely do videos covering other topics such as statistics and politics.
