About this episode

In 'WTF?! An Economic Tour of the Weird', Peter Leeson shows that far from "irrational" or "accidents of history," humanity's most outlandish rituals are ingenious solutions to pressing problems--developed by clever people, driven by incentives, and tailor-made for their time and place. On April 26, 2018, the Hayek Program hosted a book panel featuring author Peter Leeson and scholars Boris Gershman and Steven Pfaff to discuss the theories and implications of Leeson's new book.
