The Harvard Genius Mapping the Death of the American Dream — Zip Code by Zip Code (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the single strongest predictor of whether a poor kid rises into the middle class has nothing to do with intelligence, work ethic, or even education, and everything to do with who happens to be in their classroom in third grade? Raj Chetty grew up in New Delhi, came to the US in fourth grade, emailed 15 Harvard professors his first week on campus, was working as a research assistant for Marty Feldstein within weeks, graduated college a year early, and became one of the youngest tenured pr
Dead Men Are Running America's Budget, and Their Policies Are Bankrupting Your Kids (opens the original)
Read excerpt

She spent eight years at Money Magazine, appeared with Elmo on Sesame Street to teach kids about money, served on the President's Advisory Council on Financial
Is AI the End of Mathematics, or Its Most Exciting New Beginning? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it feel like to watch an AI solve a problem in a single prompt that you've spent years working on, and produce a stronger result than your own published papers? Professor Kotlikoff grew up academically alongside two economists, Yuri Dadush and Michael Pomerleano, who were his classmates when he began his PhD at Harvard in 1973. In this episode, he sits down with their sons: Daniel Dadush , a professor of mathematics and optimization at Utrecht University, and Daniel Pomerleano , a prof
