On the back of my post last week discussing “Economics as Applied Philosophy”, and a generous invitation to speak, here I am explaining it to MBA students at the University of Kent.
I choose two out of arguably an infinite number of applications, one expressing a true macro scale (the economic rationale underpinning the geopolitics of conflict); and the other representing a true micro scale (the economic audit that comprises the Periodic Review in the water industry, reporting to Ofwat).
So, here’s me being important… apparently I’ve saved corporations “billions” rather than the “millions” that I showed, but hey what’s a consonant between friends? I’m the first speaker for around 15-20 minutes, from minute 4 or so…
Awkward marketing on their side in that they keep the cover slide up on screen, instead of the speaker talking..
