im at work rn, but ill give part 1 a listen later today and let you know how it compares to the book!

he seems to cover most of the same points in his lecture and book. but imo the book is a lot better organized. also the footnotes are insanely useful. in the lecture he mentions 1st, 2nd, and 3rd hands of the economy but doesn’t explain. in the book there’s a footnote explaining the 1st hand is Adam smiths invisible hand (individuals acting in self interest leading to optimization), the 2nd hand is government regulation, and the 3rd hand is state-owned enterprises. then again, i was just listening while driving and his presentation slides might have explained that.
