Hey everyone 🎙️ welcome to Revise and Resubmit, and this one’s a Weekend Classics episode — your cozy corner where academic brilliance meets storytelling magic! 🌟
Today we’re diving into a fascinating piece of intellectual history — “Entangled Economists: Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen” by Erwin Dekker, published in the Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics (Winter 2019, Vol. 12 No. 2). 📖✨
So imagine this: two pioneering minds, one obsessed with perfection, the other drawn to pragmatism, both wired together by a burning sense of social duty. It’s 50 years after they shared the very first Nobel Prize in Economics, and their letters reveal not just equations and models, but emotions, egos, and energy pulsing through the birth of modern econometrics. 💡💬
Frisch builds the theory; Tinbergen spreads it to the world. One crafts the instruments, the other conducts the orchestra of applied economics. Together, they don’t just build a field — they shape how humanity measures progress itself. 🧠📊
But here’s what keeps me hooked — how did their personalities, their human quirks, their academic dance, change the rhythm of modern economics forever? 🤔
A huge thanks to Erwin Dekker and Erasmus University for this incredible work that lets us peek behind the curtain of two intellectual giants. 🙏

So, here’s my question for you — what happens when a perfectionist and a pragmatist decide to build a science together? 🔍💭
