Wheelan believes that the discourse on economics needs to change. It's important information, that affects companies and individuals on a daily and long-term basis, so the way people understand it needs to be updated and approached differently. His book, and this podcast, give insight to those proposed changes, and why they will have a major impact on business at large. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
