Episode notes

There is this balance between enabling people to actually buy things ahead of time and have that credit available, but also not allowing them to get into situations where it's so impossible to get out. In a lot of places, there just simply aren't enough homes. The wealthy typically own things, and the not wealthy rent them. And who benefits from this? It's certainly not the people who are renting. So i guess the suggestion is finding ways to make housing more fordable,. Like government subsidies that actually help 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.
