From <a href='https://www.econtalk.org/robert-frank-on-inequality/'>Econtalk:</a><br>Robert Frank of Cornell University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about inequality. Is there a role for public policy in mitigating income inequality? Is such intervention justified or effective? The conversation delves into both the philosophical and empirical evidence behind differing answers to these questions. Ultimately, Frank argues for a steeply rising tax rate on consumption that would reduce disparities in consumption. This is a lively back-and-forth about a very timely topic.

From <a href='https://voxeu.org/vox-talks/climate-shock-economic-consequences-hotter-planet'>Vox Talks:</a><br>At the heart of policy debates about our collective responses to climate change is the issue of risk and uncertainty - ‘unknown unknowns’ about the impact of global warming. In this Vox Talk, Gernot Wagner - co-author with Harvard’s Martin L. Weitzman of 'Climate Shock: The Economic Consequences of a Hotter Planet’ - argues for Pigovian taxes and carbon pricing, against geoengineering solutions, and why 'we need to stick it to CO2, not to capitalism’.

From <a href='https://www.npr.org/2019/05/31/728723289/episode-917-quit-threat'>Planet Money:</a><br>On today's show, we ask: What does full employment really look like?<br> <br> NPR sent reporters across the country, including to Ames, Iowa, the city with the lowest unemployment rate, to find out.<br> <br> The unemployment rate is just 3.6% in the U.S., a 50-year low. People think we are at, or near, full employment. That's the lowest the unemployment rate can go without triggering inflation. And when the labor market is that tight, power shifts from employers to workers. When unemployment is low, workers can threaten to quit and their bosses have to take that threat seriously. That's what leads to raises.
