In this month's episode of Social Economics, we sit down with Dr. Odile Mackett from the University of Witwatersrand in which we discuss her foray into the world of economics, the key differences that distinguish social and mainstream neoclassical economics, and the role of social economics in contemporary social challenges. Additionally, we dive into her fascinating interdisciplinary research, the importance of time use research and her work within the field, her research on social security, and her role as the International Director in the Executive Council.
