📝 Description

In 'Wild Problems,' economist Russ Roberts explores the big, unquantifiable decisions in life—like who to marry, what career to pursue, or where to live—that can't be solved with spreadsheets or logic alone. He argues that these 'wild problems' require a different kind of wisdom, often drawing on intuition and personal values, rather than purely rational calculation.
