Why Economics Forgot About Human Nature with Ian Mason
Listen to Shepheard-Walwyn Podcast
In this episode of the Shepheard Walwyn Podcast, we’re joined by Ian Mason — barrister, former principal of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science, and author of Economics Live. Ian reflects on the path that took him from Scotland to London, from insurance into law, and from legal practice into a much deeper inquiry into economics, justice, human nature, and the common good.
From property law and land value to environmental responsibility, future generations, and the practical value of philosophy in everyday life. Ian shares why he believes we should value our contribution, give more than we take, and leave things as good or better than we found them.
