Richard Davies on Extreme Economies

Richard Davies talks with host Russ Roberts about his book, Extreme Economies, exploring economic life in extreme situations. The Angola State Penitentiary in Louisiana, Syrian refugee camps in Jordan, the Panama rain forest, and Kinshasa, the largest city in the Democratic Republic of Congo are discussed. This is an economic and journalistic tour de force as Davies shares insights from his encounters with people around the world struggling to trade and prosper in extreme environments.
