    Ben, Gaurang, and Tarun: Economics at Harvard, Behavioral Economics, Political Economy, Advice and Resources for Young Economists, & More!

    Considering how broad the field of economics is, it can be difficult for young economists to figure out how to learn, what to learn, whom to learn from, and more.  Having a mentor who guides you is always extremely helpful. Hence, in this episode, we bring to you wisdom from not one, not two, but three mentors: Benjamin Hoffner-Brodsky, Gaurang Goel, and Tarun Timalsina, three upperclassmen studying economics at Harvard College. We discuss a variety of topics from their experiences at Harvard, importance of behavioral and political economics, the future of India's economy, open-source learning, and their advice for young budding economists!
