Surviving The Greatest Con with Professor Gigi Foster

With a BA from Yale in Ethics, Economics and Politics, plus a PHD in Economics form the University of Maryland, dual-citizen Professor Gigi Foster is regarded as one of Australia's leading economics communicators.

Her work in the School of Economics Department at The University of NSW focuses primarily on Behavior Economics, Social Influence, Time Use, Education and Australian Policy. She is also well versed in Corruption and Lab Experiments.

If there's anyone that can unpack the current economic crises and help us make sense of the who-where-why's-and-what's of the world, it's Gigi.

With the "Young Economist of the Year" Award (2019) and a citation for "Outstanding Contribution to student learning" (2017) under her belt, Professor Foster is a wise and timely voice amid a sea of (mostly) antiquated peers. She is co-author of "The Great Covid Panic" (with Paul Frijters and Michael Baker) and "Do Lockdowns and Border Closures serve the Greater Good?" (with Sanjeev Sabhlok), and appears regularly on the discussion panels such as the ABC in an effort to bring awareness and accountability to social subjects that have either been lacking, or avoided, for years in this country.

We cover a lot of ground in this interview from Cost Benefit Analysis and the Covid pandemic to Crown Law and Controlled Opposition. You may need to watch it more than once.
