September 10, 2025Personal Finance is Broken—Can These Economists Fix It?
My guests this week, economic professors John Campbell and Tarun Ramadorai, argue that the financial system itself is a powerful contributor to wealth inequality, and that there are ways to improve it. Their new book, Fixed: Why Personal Finance Is Broken and How to Make It Work for Everyone (out October 21), addresses how the bulk of our financial issues are downstream of poor structural design, not personal shortcomings—and what we can do about it.
(00:00): Intro

(04:00): 🏁 How our financial system allows the upper middle class to pull away from the lower middle class, even if they start in relatively similar places

(26:55): 😈 Why financial firms aren’t incented to make better products, and how “competition” produces services that exploit the human tendency for bad decision making

(41:42) 🏡 The unique products in the mortgage market that might actually be underutilized (like ARMs and reverse mortgages)

(57:50): 🍼 What John and Tarun would include in a “personal finance starter kit” for every adult (like a Finnish baby box, but for when you’re a baby adult in a predatory system)

(01:08:50): 👊 Where the three of us disagreed about who should be providing said starter kit

August 13, 2025 How Other Countries Used Their Darkest Hour to Radically Reform Their Economies
