#5 - The Rational Man Is a Fable

11 min • 10 juni 2025

Welcome, friend and future deep-dweller!


This is the fifth monologue episode of Deeponomics—a podcast exploring the research, deep ideas, and theories shaping markets, finance, and accounting.


In this episode, we explore why the “rational man” of economic theory is more fiction than fact—a simplified character built for models, not real life.
