We vertellen onze kinderen enge sprookjes om hen waardevolle lessen te leren, maar deze verhalen zijn voor de educatie van volwassenen – en ze zijn allemaal waargebeurd. Tim Harford (bekend van de Financial Times en de BBC, en auteur van “De Data Detective”) brengt verhalen over menselijke fouten, tragische rampen en hilarische blunders. Ze zullen je amuseren, je angst aanjagen en je ook wijzer maken. Elke andere vrijdag verschijnen er nieuwe afleveringen.
We tell our children unsettling fairy tales to teach them valuable lessons, but these Cautionary Tales are for the education of the grown ups – and they are all true. Tim Harford (Financial Times, BBC, author of “The Data Detective”) brings you stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, and hilarious fiascos. They’ll delight you, scare you, but also make you wiser. New episodes every Friday.
Cautionary Tales returns with a new episode on May 2nd.
Both of the world’s greatest economists, Irving Fisher and John Maynard Keynes, thought they could see into the future and make a killing on the stock market – and then both were wiped out by the Wall Street Crash. One died a pauper, the other millionaire. What does it take to bounce back from ruin? Oh… and UFOs.
