This week is the April edition of Incentives & Instincts, a recurring series in which Justin speaks with economist and friend Bryce Ward about some of the broader challenges facing our society. Today, the two dig into the perplexing and inconvenient reality that Americans appear to be dying much younger than our counterparts in other advanced economies.

Bryce brings up one article that shows Americans are dying more frequently at younger ages. Justin asks what some of the reasons behind that phenomenon are, and the two go through several of those possibilities.

Tune in next month for part two of this conversation.
