This book by Adam Smith came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: John List. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“for the person who is not an expert reader i would say go to the moral sentiments because there you got kind of the the behavioralists at work”— John List
The guest here is John List: Economist at the University of Chicago, pioneer of field experiments, and former chief economist at Uber and Lyft. Author of 'The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale.'.
