Bruce Chapman argues for income-contingent student loans because the alternative, time-based loans, leads to a very high repayment burden for those with lower income, high default rates and less repayment in the aggregate.

We rarely think of economics as scandalous, but maybe we should. Sam Bowles, in conversation with @durlauf.bsky.social & Ethan Bueno de Mesquita, argues that a core assumption in the field impedes moral reasoning about wealth redistribution. Watch "Why Economic Inequalities Endure"→ bit.ly/3Yj4F3B
