Welcome to Great Books, Great Voices, a weekly podcast where we aim to ignite a new world of community, connection, and conversation one book at a time. My name is Diamond Michael Scott and I am your global book ambassador and show host.
In this episode we’re joined by Daryl Fairweather, a trailblazing economist and the first Black woman to earn a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago. As the Chief Economist at Redfin and a former senior economist at Amazon, Daryl has built a career analyzing the forces that shape our financial and personal lives.
In her book Hate the Game, she blends behavioral economics and game theory with real-life anxieties—whether to buy or rent, ask for a promotion, or even disclose a pregnancy at work. Through history, science, and pop culture, she arms readers with strategies to navigate life’s biggest financial decisions with confidence. Today, she’s here to share her insights, so let’s dive in!
