The Big Short - Organise an Economics Class Trip!

Geoff Riley

24th January 2016

I saw The Big Short last night - it has Oscar winner written all over it, especially a fantastic performance from Steve Carell. Why not organise a class trip for Economics students? The Big Short has a stellar cast - Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Karen Gillan, and Steve Carell - and is snazzy and fast-paced throughout. Watch for a superb cameo from the leading behavioural economist Richard Thaler!
