Lecture by ASA Visiting Scholar Gerald Silverberg on Reforming the Economics Curriculum

At the invitation of the Pluralism in Economics (PINE-UCM) group at University College Maastricht (The Netherlands), Gerald Silverberg gave a talk on “Some Simple Principles for Understanding Economic Complexity” on 14 April, 2015.
