My Stage Debut as Adam Smith: Economic Lessons from Off-Off-Broadway

Russell Roberts is the John and Jean De Nault Research Fellow at Hoover.  He hosts the award-winning weekly podcast EconTalk, featuring conversations with authors, economists, and business leaders. Roberts shares his experience of playing Adam Smith and the economic lessons he learned. Roberts also touches on Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments, including what influences our decisions and the idea of an invisible hand guiding our decisions. In all our interactions we want to not only be loved but to be lovely.
