59 分钟Welcome to Macro Musings,
where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic issues of the past,
present, and future.
I am your host, David Beckwith,
a Senior Research Fellow with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University,
and I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is Aditi Shahashrabude.
Aditi is the author of the new book titled Bankers Trust,
How Social Relations Avert Global Financial Collapse.
And she's a political scientist at Brown University.
Aditi joins us today to discuss how relationships among central bankers of the world are important when dealing with economic crisis.
Aditi, welcome to the program.
Thank you so much for having me.
Well, it's great to have you on.
I've been looking forward to this because as I read your book,
it really resonated with me the importance of human relationships,
the importance of people's ability to communicate and connect with others,
the importance of emotional intelligence, not just analytical intelligence.
And you really highlight this.
And this is something I think we take for granted or we just don't.
