Kiasunomics: The Hidden Science Behind Singaporean Behaviours ft. Sing Tien Foo |

Remember YLB #538 (the LIVE episode) where we spoke about the topic of BTOs leading to more divorces? We decided to invite one of the co-authors of the book, “Kiasunomics 3: Economic Insights for Everyday Life”, Prof Sing Tien Foo onto the YLB podcast to tell us more about all the interesting insights from his book, and why young Singaporeans should care more about economics in their everyday lives.
