Reading
- What of sociologist’s had as much influence as economists? “For starters, while economists tend to view a job as a straightforward exchange of labor for money, a wide body of sociological research shows how tied up work is with a sense of purpose and identity.”
- The Progressive Case for Immigration “Among economists, there is near-universal acceptance that immigration generates huge benefits. … Workers who migrate from poor countries to rich ones typically earn vastly more than they could have in their country of origin.”
- An interview with Garry Kasparov on the press and propaganda in Trump’s America. Always good to have a Russian perspective.
Listening
- What Tyler Cowen thinks of pretty much everything from the Ezra Klein Show. A philosopher/economist. I think I have a new hero.
