The Inequality Podcast

Steven and Glenn Loury discuss different perspectives on affirmative action and present arguments on both sides of a complex and nuanced issue with the hope of fostering an informed citizenry. Ethan Bueno de Mesquita, Dean of the Harris School, moderates the talk.

Shelly Lundberg covers the long-embedded gender gaps in many professions, including economics. She and Steven explore anti-discrimination legislation aimed at correcting disparities, and the flawed ways that economists have traditionally taught and measured them.

In this bonus episode, Sam Bowles dives deep into the ancient origins of inequality, Marxian economic theory, the evolution of the economics curriculum, and The Moral Economy.
