I was interviewed for a podcast today. Robin Powell from Timeline did a great job in interviewing Crawford Spence and me about our new book (Inertia, Columbia UP). He even got us to try and predict the future of the field of investment advice... A tricky one if you criticise financial professionals.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

We assume that highly paid professionals consistently beat the market. Yet research shows that active funds often underperform passive funds, and analysts’ recommendations can be unreliable. Why does this system persist?

I have a new article that introduces a prosocial paradigm for performance management, challenging the neoclassical focus on self-interest by emphasizing prosocial behavior and group dynamics. Drawing on evolutionary science, the paper advocates a prosocial market economy.
