Episode notes

The amount of debt that students end up with in the us is insane. I would love to see some of those universities low over prices, but also just let a lot more students into them. The government could do other things that would be much more useful for the world. How many people would want to be sophoor engineers if h was dangling right in front of them? And i would haply pay a little bit more in taxes to have better educated people.

Wealth inequality has been increasing for decades, and recently, there has been a heightened focus on billionaires as we debate what to do about the concentration of large swaths of wealth in a few hands.

In this episode, Steph and Cal discuss whether or not billionaires should exist, common proposals for dealing with billionaires, and a few policy proposals for how we can start thinking about tackling wealth inequality.

Whether you find yourself saying, "billionaires are evil and don't deserve all that money", "billionaires deserve what they have earned", or "I don't care about billionaires, but I care about a world with more equality of opportunity," this episode is for you.
