Sou incompetente para falar línguas estrangeiras, mas sou fascinada pela linguagem em geral, como característica humana. Claro, outras espécies grunhem, sinalizam e assim por diante.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Deirdre McCloskey delivers a keynote lecture at the 2022 Markets & Society conference.
