The labor market may be the most misunderstood component of the economy. That's why we talked with UMass economist Arin Dube about what really happens when you raise minimum wages and why tight labor markets might be worth a little extra inflation. Worth a look and listen. youtu.be/5Gf-QB_Uusw?...

This new podcast series is REALLY good ! Interesting new insights and ideas on big questions. Every time. And I love the fact that they propose solutions to improve things.

A great chance to hear Dani explain further why he thinks manufacturing no longer holds the same promise for developing economies—and why the service sector is a key to more equitable prosperity in the future. #economicsforinclusiveprosperity

Originalism is judicial claptrap, a legal hustle that undermines a dynamic declaration of principles by misrepresenting it as secular scripture and casting the Founding Fathers as ersatz apostles. Scalia was a facile fraud. Shame on his enablers, including RBG. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

A very interesting conversation with Dani. One reason I like him is that he's what I call an "early adopter of empirical reality," meaning he's unafraid to look ahead to where the evidence is pointing, regardless of whether it upends conventional wisdom. Also some interesting thoughts on AI here.
