The Surprisingly Impactful Economics of Giving | Deep Dive | Dave Erasmus Bonus

In this Deep Dive episode we look a little closer at something Dave brought up in epsiode 1: The economy of giving. Is it really that irrational to give? We've been living with this "homo economicus rational man model" for most of the 20th century. Time for an upgrade? In this episode the arguments are made, with the concrete examples of open source vs patents that giving is the more impactful way to go. Especially if you expand your view of what the economy is. More on that later.
