Creativity in Economics and Religion

In this podcast episode, Paul and Luce discuss the creative potential within Economics and Religion. There exists a stereotype that economics operates within rigid frameworks, primarily centered on supply and demand. However, economics encompasses a broad spectrum of applications, including historical, behavioral, and environmental perspectives. While models serve to simplify our assumptions, it remains crucial to grasp underlying theories and apply them across various contexts, both at the micro and macro levels.

Luce delves into the intricate realm of religions, challenging the oversimplified notion that they are bound solely by rules. Contrary to mere adherence to holy texts (religiosity), religions offer rich interdisciplinary and philosophical insights. Engaging with religious concepts challenges one's perspectives, prompting deeper reflection and understanding.
