Philip Pilkington Interviews

Some very interesting interviews here with Philip Pilkington on economic methodology, aggregate demand and various other subjects.

The first can be found here:

Entitled Thoughts: Philip Pilkington on Modern Economic Methodology, Part 1.

The second is below.

Daniel Kahneman Interviews

Daniel Kahneman has done a considerable amount of work on human intuition and decision making. I highly recommend his paper “A Psychological Perspective on Economics” (American Economic Review 93.2 [2003]: 162–168), and I have already discussed the “heuristic and biases” method of Tversky and Kahneman, and how this is a very useful approach to decision-making under uncertainty, which confirms and complements the Post Keynesian theory of business decision-making under uncertainty (Tversky and Kahneman 1974; and Kahneman et al. 1982; Fontana 2009: 39–41).

I post two videos below.

The first Daniel Kahneman talks about behavioural economics.




The second is an extended, more general interview with Daniel Kahneman by Harry Kreisler, in the Conversations with History (2007). It is a wide-ranging interview.
