Economics is the study of human behaviour. The study of greed and of scarcity. It has been around for as long as civilisation has existed. Join Chaitanya as he talks about the first recorded instance of one of the most commonplace economic phenomena. Is it a cautionary tale or a history lesson? You decide!

Take a wild guess! is a short-format podcast where within 10 minutes, your host Chaitanya Ganu tells you a fascinating story of an object, a place, an event in history, or a name without telling you the subject of discussion. With the help of various clues that he drops throughout the story, you can figure out what is being talked about. The best part is, even if you don’t get it by the end of the 10 minutes, you can always take a wild guess! Learn how, for example, a toy-making company is connected to the Vietnam War or how a British soldier is responsible for many Indian students’ nightmares
