  • Personal 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 Our show is a production of Morning Brew and is produced by Henah Velez and Katie Gatti Tassin, with our audio engineering and sound design from Nick Torres.

  • On Worthwhile Side Hustles, Financial Tradeoffs, & Frustration with American Politicians
    In today’s Rich Girl Roundup, we’re discussing a wide range of alternately nerdy and controversial (sometimes both) topics: 🩹 The role of insurance around the fear of impending doom 🏃 When side hustles are worthwhile 🧮 How to calculate opportunity costs when you have both savings and loans as options on the table 🤑 The theoretically rigorous case for wealth taxes 👀 Where the current economic discussion about Trump’s immigration policies is self-defeating ⚖️ Why my perspective on state-run universal services has become complicated by the last six months  …and more, including a temporary and especially thrilling new segment called “Airing Your Grievances.”  Transcripts, show notes, resources, and credits will be available within a week at: http://moneywithkatie.com/side-hustles-tradeoffs. — Money with Katie’s mission is to be the intersection where the economic, cultural, and political meet the tactical, practical, personal finance education everyone needs.

  • How Other Countries Used Their Darkest Hour to Radically Reform Their Economies
    Why don’t things in the US feel like they work the way that they should? Why does life feel so much harder than it would need to be, between exorbitant costs of housing, draining healthcare expenses, and inequitable access to education? But the problems that plague us aren’t unsolvable, and in fact, other places have solved them with tactics that are within reach. So this episode, featuring the author of Another World is Possible, Natasha Hakimi Zapata, is all about solutions and hope.
