ECONOMIST ALEX EDMANS ON MAY CONTAIN LIES

According to renowned economist Alex Edmans our lives are minefields of misinformation. It ripples through our social media feeds, our daily headlines, and the pronouncements of politicians, executives, and authors. Stories, statistics, and studies are everywhere, allowing people to find evidence to support whatever position they want. Many of these sources are flawed, yet by playing on our emotions and preying on our biases, they can gain widespread acceptance, warp our views, and distort our decisions. Join us when Alex Edmans teaches us how to separate fact from fiction on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
