Podcast appearances and mentions of Gary S Becker

Evidence from Nazi Germany and 1940's America (and pretty much everywhere else) shows that discrimination is incredibly costly — to the victims, of course, but also the perpetrators. One modern solution is to invoke a diversity mandate. But new research shows that's not necessarily the answer. RESOURCES:"Discrimination, Managers, and Firm Performance: Evidence from 'Aryanizations' in Nazi Germany," by Kilian Huber, Volker Lindenthal, and Fabian Waldinger (Journal of Political Economy, 2021)."Diversity and Performance in Entrepreneurial Teams," by Sophie Calder-Wang, Paul A.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Mixtape with Scott! Recently, the University of Chicago Press published a book entitled The Economic Approach: Unpublished Writings of Gary S. Becker. It was written obviously by Gary Becker who died almost 10 years ago at the age of 83 after an extremely long and fruitful career as an economist. Dr. Becker had many students — some like me were students from afar, but some, like our guest today, were his actual students. And today's guest is Casey Mulligan, one of the editors of that aforementioned book, and a professor of economics at the University of Chicago. This was a fun interview to do. Casey walked us through his time at Harvard as an undergrad to his unusually rapid progression through Chicago's economics PhD program where he stayed on and is now a professor. We discussed his own career but we also spent just a lot of time discussing what it was like with Becker, as well as his own later time at the Council of Economic Advisers. I hope you enjoy it!Scott's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Die Idee klingt verwegen: Gary S. Becker, Träger des sogenannten Wirtschaftsnobelpreises, betrachtet Kinder als „langlebige Konsum- und Produktionsgüter“. In seinen Studien und Aufsätzen betrachtet er Familien unter Kosten-Nutzen-Rechnungen und leitet daraus eine eigenwillige neoliberale Politik ab. Derzeit wird in Deutschland über die Kindergrundsicherung diskutiert, die die FDP ausbremst. Immer wieder verkündigen Politiker, dass Kinder unsere Zukunft seien, aber die politischen Maßnahmen entsprechen diesen weihevollen Worten viel zu selten. Was, wenn eine Betrachtung à la Gary S. Becker, der einst bei Milton Friedman in Chicago studierte, einige kontraintuitive Argumentationshilfen bieten kann? Kann man den Neoliberalismus vielleicht sogar mit neoliberalen Prämissen bekämpfen? Darüber sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“. Literatur: Gary S.

Gary S. Becker fue un economista que ganó el Premio Nobel de 1992 por su análisis microeconómico del impacto de las consideraciones económicas en el comportamiento y la interacción humanos. Antes de Becker, el comportamiento humano se analizaba principalmente en el marco de otras ciencias sociales, como la sociología. Su investigación premiada se centró en la teoría de la elección racional y otros aspectos de la microeconomía relacionados con temas como la inversión en capital humano, comportamiento familiar / doméstico, crimen y castigo, adicción y discriminación en los mercados financieros.

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour , Sam welcomes Financial Literacy Expert, *Natalie Wynne Pace*. Natalie is an Advocate for Sustainability, Financial Literacy & Women's Empowerment. She is the co-creator of the Earth Gratitude project and the author of the Amazon bestsellers The ABCs of Money for College ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/fnGcEFUDeM_bkFoj/52ea0225dd3ef4369757ae09b239cb2b ) , The Gratitude Game ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/fnGcEFUDeM_bkFoj/2e6516bf5b36d18c9e4bab2d5548848f ) , The ABCs of Money ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/fnGcEFUDeM_bkFoj/6444be18505f8f80d400202cebced653 ) and Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/fnGcEFUDeM_bkFoj/b9b766cc5412dbf918e10ce8304e96f3 ) (aka You Vs. Wall Street in paperback). She has been ranked as a No. 1 stock picker, above over 835 A-list pundits, by an independent tracking agency (TipsTraders). The ABCs of Money remained at or near the #1 Investing Basics e-book on Amazon for over 3 years (in its vertical), with over 120,000 downloads and a mean 5-star ranking. The 3rd edition of The ABCs of Money ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/fnGcEFUDeM_bkFoj/0b4c1aae6d9973ed2fe5fc038d4f3769 ) was released in 2020. Natalie Pace's easy as a pie chart nest egg strategies earned gains in the last two recessions and have outperformed the bull markets in between. That is why her Investor Educational Retreats, books and private coaching are enthusiastically recommended by Nobel Prize winning economist Gary S. Becker, TD AMERITRADE chairman Joe Moglia, Kay Koplovitz and many Main Street investors who have transformed their lives using her Thrive Budget and investing strategies. Watch the *Facebook Livestream by clicking here* ( https://www.facebook.com/InspiredThoughtsWithSam/videos/1255972338093374/ ) *.* * Segment 1:* Sam delivers his weekly quotes from Abraham and the Universe. Then he introduces returning guest Natalie Wynn Pace. Natalie jumps right in with her thoughts on prosperity consciousness. Sam says that there are so many life skills that we aren't taught as a child, like banking strategies, that we must become educated about. He is all for empowering people in all aspects of life, financial situations included. *Segment 2:* Natalie says that if you have credit card debt, you have a budgeting problem. She suggests the “thrive budget” which is detailed on her website. This budget is centered on spending 50% of your income on “thriving” and the other 50% on “surviving”. She also advises not to drain your bank account in order to live a lifestyle that is out of your price range. However, by taking responsibility for how much you are spending, you are empowering and enabling yourself to have fun and enjoy yourself more. If you feel like you can't afford to have fun, this is another sign you have a budgeting problem. Natalie urges the audience to do an equity check, as it is hard to live in an “underwater” asset. *Segment 3:* If you are an employee you need to consider how reliable your income is and protect your wealth. Many employees are not paying attention to their 401Ks. They may not be aware that they can take easy actions to improve this because after all, you are the boss of your own money. Sam says that you can have power over your own money instead of handing it over to someone else to deal with, (it's not as hard as it seems)! Natalie knew we were in a recession before it was announced because she is tuned into the happenings of the economy which is why her methods should be trusted. Like Natalie, it is important to stay educated on the financial situation of the current time. Furthermore, businesses should be reassessed during this pandemic to see how they can adapt to the changing times. The future is going to look very different and your business must adjust. *Segment 4:* Natalie says your money must be properly diversified and says you must lead your money from wisdom. They pivot to discussing how people are fleeing the city and moving towards the countryside. In the last 20 years, there is a lot more volatility in the financial market and an eye must be kept on it. Real estate usually takes 4 years to hit it's bottom, so Natalie says to “stay tuned”.

Roughly 25 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are infected with HIV, and the number is growing. Since 9095 percent of HIV infections in Africa result from heterosexual sex,understanding changes in heterosexual behavior in response to rising HIV rates is crucial to developing effective prevention strategies. In the new study 'HIV and Sexual Behavior Change: Why Not Africa?' Emily Oster, Becker Fellow for the Gary S. Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and Assistant Professor of Economics, analyzes the apparent lack of behavioral response among Africans. Most prior estimates of behavioral response have focused on very limited and specialized populations.
