He has written a book called The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions - and How The World Lost its Mind. I've followed Dan on his substack and on the blog Crooked Timber for some time and I've always found him brilliant, so I was excited to read his book. I wasn't disappointed - it is a witty and insightful guide to the importance of accountability in economic systems which draws heavily from the work of the underappreciated economist Stafford Beer. We had a really great chat about cybernetics and economics, hope you enjoy!</p><p><br></p><p>Dan's Substack: https://substack.com/@backofmind </p><p><br></p><p>The Unaccountability Machine: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/U/bo252799883.html</p>","author_name":"Unlearning Economics"}
