585. A Social Activist in Prime Minister’s Clothing: Justin Trudeau, facing record-low approval numbers, is doubling down on his progressive agenda. But he is so upbeat (and Canada-polite) that it’s easy to miss just how radical his vision is. Can he make it work? by Freakonomics Radio

Extra: The Men Who Started a Thinking Revolution (Update): The psychologist Daniel Kahneman — a Nobel laureate and the author of “Thinking, Fast and Slow” — recently died at age 90. Along with his collaborator Amos Tversky, he changed how we all think about decision-making. The journalist Michael Lewis told the Kahneman-Tversky story in a 2016 book called "The Undoing Project." In this episode, Lewis explains why they had such a profound influence. by Freakonomics Radio

Extra: Madeleine Albright’s Warning on Immigration: She arrived in the U.S. as an 11-year-old refugee, then rose to become Secretary of State. Her views on immigration, nationalism, and borders, from this 2015 interview, are almost strangely appropriate to the present moment. by Freakonomics Radio

Extra: What Is Sportswashing — and Does It Work? (Update): In ancient Rome, it was bread and circuses. Today, it’s a World Cup, an Olympics, and a new Saudi-backed golf league that’s challenging the P.G.A. Tour.

Also: why the major U.S. sports leagues are warming up to the idea of foreign investment. by Freakonomics Radio

How the San Francisco 49ers Stopped Being Losers (Update): They’re heading to the Super Bowl for the second time in five years.

5 Psychology Terms You’re Probably Misusing (Replay): We all like to throw around terms that describe human behavior — “bystander apathy” and “steep learning curve” and “hard-wired.” Most of the time, they don’t actually mean what we think they mean. But don’t worry — the experts are getting it wrong, too. by Freakonomics Radio
