Jason Smith is a physicist who took to economics. He has used modern information theory to build a different approach to analysing and predicting economic data. Jason always has a fresh and unexpected approach to things and remains an empiricist through and through. We had a super interesting chat that ranged from economic methdology to machine learning and AI to workers' rights and unemployment.


His academic paper on information theory and economics is here:

He has a well circulated article critiquing Hayek’s approach to information: https://evonomics.com/hayek-meets-information-theory-fails/


He has a substack: https://substack.com/@infoeqm but also check out his old blog: https://informationtransfereconomics.blogspot.com/


He has written two books: A Random Physicist Takes on Economics and A Workers' History of the United States 1948-2020.
