In this week’s episode: Genesis 24-27. We examine the rivalry between Yaakov and Esav from the perspective of bad names, bad contracts and bad blood. Though free-marketeers cry Caveat Emptor, we consider the raw deal Yaakov offered Esav and the further raw dealing (and goat-hair-wearing) implicating Rivkah and Yitzhak at the expense of Esav.
BTW, the link to the Freakonomics episode about names can be found here.
