Optimist Economy

Q&A Part 2: Working Two Jobs, Incentives vs. Handouts, the Gold Standard, and Government ROI


Listen Later

Economist Kathryn Edwards is back with more answers. In Part 2, she talks more about student loans, who actually “lives off taxpayers,” why gold reserves aren’t a great idea anymore, the importance of mobility in worker power, and whether ROI is a good measure for the work of government. If this two-parter was too much, blame the listener who said he didn’t like it when we used the timer back in May.
