Why is it so hard to escape poverty? - Ann-Helén Bay
Explore the paradox of welfare programs, and learn how they inadvertently reinforce generational poverty, and what we can do to fix them.
--
Imagine that you’ve been unemployed for months. Government benefit programs have helped you cover your expenses, but you’re barely getting by. Finally, you receive a paycheck— but there’s a catch. Your new job pays enough to disqualify you from benefit programs, but not enough to cover your costs. So how do we design benefit programs that don’t penalize you for working? Ann-Helén Bay investigates.

Wealth, Poverty, and Politics
Recorded on September 18, 2015
Hoover Institution fellow Thomas Sowell discusses poverty around the world and in the United States. Poverty in America, he says, compared to the rest of the world, is not severe. Many poor people in poverty in the United States have one or two cars, central heating, and cell phones. The real problem for the poor is the destruction of the family, which Sowell argues dramatically increased once welfare policies were introduced in the 1960s.

Class 1: “What’s Happened to Income & Wealth” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich
Welcome to my undergraduate course on Wealth and Poverty. This is the first of fourteen classes.
The questions we’ll focus on today: Is some inequality both inevitable and necessary? At what point, if ever, does it become a problem? What’s the difference between income and wealth inequality, and which is more important? How do income and wealth inequalities overlap with race and gender? And the real puzzle: why did these inequalities begin to widen so dramatically starting in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and continue widening since then?
Even though this isn’t a real classroom and I’m not with you in person, I hope you find this both enjoyable and challenging. Don’t expect to learn by just watching and listening, though. I want you to be an active learner — which means answering quest...

Class 6: “Political Power and Wealth” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich
This week brings us to one of the core problems of widening inequality — the inevitability that concentrated income and wealth at the top comes with political power. This creates a vicious cycle by which the super-rich get changes in the rules of the game that make them even richer, which enables them to make further changes.
The questions I’ll be addressing this week: How does economic power translate into political power? How does political power generate more economic power? How much of the phenomenon of widening inequality is due to this vicious cycle? Also: What’s the difference between “pre-distribution” and “redistribution” of income and wealth? In what ways are income and wealth now pre-distributed upward?
This is the sixth class in the 14-week series. I’ve shared some select re...

Class 2: “The Investor's View” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich
Hello again, friends. Thank you for joining me for the second week of my Wealth and Poverty class. In today’s class, we begin to explore why such inequalities have soared since the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The questions we’ll focus on are:
— How did the market for financial capital contribute to inequalities of income and wealth?
— Did the accepted purpose of the American corporation change over the last 50 years, if so, when and how?
— More generally, for whom should the corporation exist?
— Is there such a thing as “corporate social responsibility?”

Income and Wealth Inequality: Crash Course Economics #17
Inequality is a big, big subject. There's racial inequality, gender inequality, and lots and lots of other kinds of inequality. This is Econ, so we're going to talk about wealth inequality and income inequality. There's no question that economic inequality is real. But there is disagreement as to whether income inequality is a problem, and what can or should be done about it.

Class 8: “Macroeconomic Policy” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich
This week we look at one of most hidden of all domains affecting inequality — the role of macroeconomic policy. Don’t worry if you haven’t had a course in macro. We’ll be approaching the subject from an entirely different direction from standard courses, which rarely if ever explore distributional consequences.
The questions I’ll focus on are: What’s the effect of macroeconomic policy on inequality? What’s the difference between fiscal and monetary policies? How fast can the economy grow without igniting inflation? How should inflation be remedied? How and under what conditions does faster growth reduce inequality?
This is the eighth class in the 14-week series. I’ve shared some select readings from the syllabus for you. They’re available at: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/inequali...

Income and wealth inequality are not new. In fact, economists and historians who have charted economic inequality throughout history haven’t found a single society without it. Which raises a bleak question: is inequality … inevitable? Explore how economic inequality can be measured and how it is impacted by different governmental policy choices.

Class 11: “Reducing Health Inequities” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich
Welcome back to my Wealth and Poverty class. We’re coming up to near the end of the semester but still have a lot to do — so keep your seatbelts on.
This week we examine inequities in health. Among the questions I’ll be addressing are: Why and how are inequalities of income, wealth, power, and race related to health? Next, assuming that good health care is a limited resource, what’s the best means of allocating it – through the so-called “free market,” through rationing, through government subsidies, or some other means? More specifically, I’ll be asking how poor and lower-income families can achieve better health? Which inevitably raises the question whether we should move toward a single-payer healthcare plan — and if so, how? And finally, how is the range of politically acceptable hea...

Explore how economic inequality can be measured and how it is impacted by different governmental policy choices.
--
Income and wealth inequality are not new. In fact, economists and historians who have charted economic inequality throughout history haven’t found a single society without it. Which raises a bleak question: is inequality … inevitable? Explore how economic inequality can be measured and how it is impacted by different governmental policy choices.

Class 11: “Reducing Health Inequities” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich
Welcome back to my Wealth and Poverty class. We’re coming up to near the end of the semester but still have a lot to do — so keep your seatbelts on.
This week...
Welcome back to my Wealth and Poverty class. We’re coming up to near the end of the semester but still have a lot to do — so keep your seatbelts on.
This week we examine inequities in health. Among the questions I’ll be addressing are: Why and how are inequalities of income, wealth, power, and race related to health? Next, assuming that good health care is a limited resource, what’s the best means of allocating it – through the so-called “free market,” through rationing, through government subsidies, or some other means? More specifically, I’ll be asking how poor and lower-income families can achieve better health? Which inevitably raises the question whether we should move toward a single-payer healthcare plan — and if so, how? And finally, how is the range of politically acceptable health policy solutions likely to change as a result of the pandemic?
This is the eleventh class in the 14-week series. I’ve shared some select readings from the syllabus for you. They’re available at: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-we-have-the-most-expensive-and
