Podcasts about give people money

There's something weird happening with the economy. On a personal level, most Americans say they're doing pretty well right now. And according to the data, that's true. Wages have gone up faster than inflation. Unemployment is low, the stock market is generally up so far this year, and people are buying more stuff.And yet in surveys, people keep saying the economy is bad. A recent Harris poll for The Guardian found that around half of Americans think the S. & P. 500 is down this year, and that unemployment is at a 50-year high. Fifty-six percent think we're in a recession.There are many theories about why this gap exists. Maybe political polarization is warping how people see the economy or it's a failure of President Biden's messaging, or there's just something uniquely painful about inflation. And while there's truth in all of these, it felt like a piece of the story was missing.And for me, that missing piece was an article I read right before the pandemic. An Atlantic story from February 2020 called “The Great Affordability Crisis Breaking America.” It described how some of Americans' biggest-ticket expenses — housing, health care, higher education and child care — which were already pricey, had been getting steadily pricier for decades.At the time, prices weren't the big topic in the economy; the focus was more on jobs and wages. So it was easier for this trend to slip notice, like a frog boiling in water, quietly, putting more and more strain on American budgets. But today, after years of high inflation, prices are the biggest topic in the economy. And I think that explains the anger people feel: They're noticing the price of things all the time, and getting hammered with the reality of how expensive these things have become.The author of that Atlantic piece is Annie Lowrey. She's an economics reporter, the author of Give People Money, and also my wife. In this conversation, we discuss how the affordability crisis has collided with our post-pandemic inflationary world, the forces that shape our economic perceptions, why people keep spending as if prices aren't a strain and what this might mean for the presidential election.Mentioned:“It Will Never Be a Good Time to Buy a House” by Annie LowreyBook Recommendations:Franchise by Marcia ChatelainA Place of Greater Safety by Hilary MantelNickel and Dimed by Barbara EhrenreichThoughts?

What if we just gave people money? That's today's big question and my guests are Caroline Teti and Michael Faye from GiveDirectly. This conversation from 2021, one of my all-time favorites is one of those conversations that can help you truly think outside the box and reconsider how to most effectively take a simple action that can have cascading effects.Caroline Teti or just Teti as she likes to be called, I swear, works on the ground in Kenya, Nairobi, where she is the Director of Recipients Advocacy for GiveDirectly's global operations, and the Director of Governmental and External Relations. Michael Faye is the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of GiveDirectly.I think we can all understand that different people need different things on different days. We're talking about life essentials: clean air, clean and accessible water, healthy food, shelter, medicine. The needs can vary enormously among people and on a day-to-day basis.But one thing that unites us all in need is a need for agency over our own life. From everything I've understood in this conversation and talking to so many folks over the past few years, nothing takes away agency like poverty. And it turns out that giving people cash can create that power.-----------Have feedback or questions? Tweet us, or send a message to questions@importantnotimportant.comNew here?

Annie Lowrey's "Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World" is a richly reported book which brings to light some personal and often harrowing accounts of folks who could benefit instantly through cash transfers. Annie travelled to the boondocks in India and villages in Kenya where it was considered too rude to eat in the open, given the lack of food going around. Her trips to the sticks in South Korea and America gave her a peek into the life of ordinary citizens grappling to get by while battling a thicket of regulations and bureaucracy. In this podcast Annie offers compelling reasons why a UBI is a simple but effective solution to address deep poverty. She cites examples of countries and cities that have successfully experimented with such programmes and saw a perceptible rise in standard of living and dignity. Indeed it cannot replace all welfare schemes or subsidies but officials around the world could do well to give UBI a decent shot.

Spring is usually peak season for home buying, but there's a chance that low housing inventories and rising mortgage rates will cool down the market. So what does this mean for housing prices?

Remastered by A. Campbell Payne. Originally aired 9/3/17 CW: Suicide & police brutality Spoke with Aneka from the SoJust Collective about centering POC, the founding fathers, police brutality, educating allies, being tired, passing the mic, no plaforming/active platforming, confronting your racist family, the allyship industrial complex, rewarding white mediocrity, the Red Cross, Rechts Gegen Rechts, difficulties with fundraising, and seriously, ruin Christmas. You can donate to Aneka for their time by sending money to their venmo @pettymcbetty . If you counted more instances of bad allyship than I did, use your number, and if you counted fewer, use mine (14). Notes: - The controversy was in fact about Deady Hall at the University of Oregon, named after Judge Matthew Deady, co-author of the Oregon State Constitution and one of the most influential supporters of Oregon's Exclusion Laws. A good guest viewpoint written on the subject here: uwire.com/2016/02/14/guest-vie…dy-hall-must-change/ -For the uninitiated, "FTP" stands for Fuck The Police - There was concern expressed for me, but I'm not in that relationship anymore and that story is very old. The point of it is not the individualization of the issue but the systemic stresses - Instead of donating to the Red Cross, you can go here to find how to get money directly to those who need it for Hurricane Harvey relief: www.colorlines.com/articles/how-do…s-color-houston Referenced: CAHOOTS mobile crisis intervention: whitebirdclinic.org/cahoots/ Rechts Gegen Rechts: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvjIYl_Nlao Update 11/7/20: When this episode aired it was why I was rejected from Channel Zero Network. The reason given was because we should be talking about being "accomplices, not allies" and I was given a copy of the zine of the same name to read. However, we do talk about the Ally Industrial Complex in the episode and both Aneka and I disagreed with their response that this episode contributes to that mindset. However, you can read a copy of the zine here and decide for yourself: archive.org/details/Accomplices…lyIndustrialComplex

Michael Faye was a grad student when he saw charitable organizations sending sheep to those in need and asked — why can't we give people money directly and let them decide how to spend it? The result of that question was GiveDirectly, a non-profit that's put cash in the hands of about a million people and raised over $700 million. In this episode, recorded in-person, Michael discusses the challenges of giving people money and what he's discovered along the way.

In Episode 116, Quinn wants to know: why is simply giving people money the most effective way to 1) help them make positive changes to their lives and 2) erase global poverty along the way? To help him understand the answer, he brought on Caroline Teti and Michael Faye from GiveDirectly. Caroline Teti (or just Teti, as she likes to be called, we swear) works on the ground in Kenya, Nairobi, handling recipient advocacy for GiveDirectly's global operations. She's our new favorite person, sorry Michael. Michael Faye is the co-founder and president of GiveDirectly, and he's great too. Seriously! You're great. So great. But Teti, wow. Anyways! There's so many amazing programs out there helping folks in extreme poverty by providing food, water, clothing, medicine, and more.  But different people need different things on different days. Michael and Teti have done tremendous work to explore the data behind poverty and how to fix it: and it turns out the best way to get people what they need is to give them the resources -- namely cash -- to make those decisions themselves. None of us will end poverty, individually. But anyone can lift just one person out of poverty, so listen in and let's do this thing.

Leading activists talk about the LGBTQ community's fight for federal legal protections; a visit to an urban farm growing fruits and vegetable to serve a food desert in Washington, D.C.; Annie Lowrey, author of "Give People Money;" the history of the rainbow flag; flying taxi cabs take a spin in Paris.

Retail sales went through the roof after the most recent round of stimulus from the federal government. Turns out when you give people money, they will spend it at businesses. Regardless, stay tuned for arguments in Congress about whether direct payments actually work. We've been waiting for months for a significantly better unemployment report and we might have gotten it -- jobless claims fell by 200 thousand last week. And barring something unexpectedly catastrophic, it looks like signs are pointing to a real economic boom in the not so distant future. David Fiorenza, Associate Professor of Practice at Villanova School of Business joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what happened this week in the economy and what it means for all of us in our daily lives.   Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Evan and Joe explore giving people money. This is not a discussion of the book of a similar title by Annie Lowry, but is of themes reminiscent of the book. This discussion is about the results of a UBI experiment in Stockton and the COVID relief bill that just passed the Senate and will likely become law.

Annie Lowrey, author of Give People Money and staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Andrew to discuss on-the-ground indicators of how the economy is doing, the multiplier effects of giving people cash, why the social safety net is so difficult to use, and policy changes that could make the safety net less punitive.

One of my favorite episodes of this show was my conversation with Jenny Odell, just under a year ago. Odell, a visual artist, writer, and Stanford lecturer, had just released her book How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy and we had a fascinating conversation about the importance of maintenance work, the problem with ceaseless productivity, the forces vying for our attention, the comforts of nature, and so much more.  A lot has changed since then. Odell’s book became a sensation: it captured a cultural moment, made it onto Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2019 list and became, for many, a touchstone. And then, a global pandemic hit, radically altering the world in ways that made the core themes of Odell’s work more prescient, and more difficult. What happens when, instead of choosing to “do nothing,” doing nothing is forced upon you? What happens when all you have access to is nature? What happens when the work of maintenance becomes not just essential, but also dangerous? So I asked Odell back, for a very different conversation in a very different time. This isn’t a conversation, really, about fixing the world right now. It’s about living in it, and what that feels like. It’s about the role of art in this moment, why we undervalue the most important work in our society, how to have collective sympathy in a moment of fractured suffering, where to find beauty right now, the tensions of productivity, the melting of time, our reckoning with interdependence, and much more.  And, at the end, Odell offers literally my favorite book recommendation ever on this show. And no, it’s not for my book.  References: My previous conversation with Jenny Odell on the art of attention "The Myth of Self-Reliance" by Jenny Odell, The Paris Review "I tried to write an essay about productivity in quarantine.

“What is happening,” writes Annie Lowrey, “is a shock to the American economy more sudden and severe than anyone alive has ever experienced.”   It’s also different from what anyone alive has ever experienced. For many of us, the Great Recession is the closest analogue — but it’s not analogous at all. There, the economy’s potential was unchanged, but financial markets were in crisis. Here, we are purposefully freezing economic activity in order to slow a public health crisis. Early data suggests the economic crisis is going to far exceed any single week or quarter of the financial crisis. Multiple economists have told me that the nearest analogy to what we’re going through is the economy during World War II. I have a secret advantage when trying to understand moments of economic upheaval. I’m married to Annie Lowrey. I can give you the bio — staff writer at the Atlantic, author of Give People Money (which is proving particularly prophetic and influential right now) — but suffice to say she’s one of the clearest and most brilliant economic thinkers I know. Her viral piece on the affordability crisis is crucial for understanding what the economy really looked like before Covid-19, and she’s been doing some of the best work on the way Covid-19 will worsen the economic problems we had and create a slew of new ones. But this isn’t just a conversation about crisis. It’s also a conversation about how to respond. I wouldn’t call it hopeful — we’re not there yet. But constructive.

To discuss UBI -- it's history, its track record, and its future -- I was joined by Annie Lowrey, author of the new book "Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World." The post https://www.aei.org/multimedia/ep-109-give-people-money-annie-lowrey-on-the-case-for-a-universal-basic-income/ (Ep. 109: ‘Give People Money'? Annie Lowrey on the case for a Universal Basic Income) appeared first on https://www.aei.org (American Enterprise Institute - AEI).

How can we end the scourge of poverty? How we can sustain ourselves once robots eliminate the need for many jobs? Annie Lowrey offers an answer in the title of her book, Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World (Crown, 2018). She makes the case for the policy called “Universal Basic Income,” in which the government pays everyone a fixed amount of money whether or not they have a job. The book traces the history of the idea, which goes back centuries and has been embraced at various points by people on the left and the right. Lowrey also shares her travels to Kenya, to witness a pilot UBI program, and to India, to explore its high-tech program to bring banking to the poor and could lead to a UBI system. She talks with politician and philosophers, economists and subsistence farmers. And she addresses critics who fear UBI would be too expensive and discourage work. As UBI becomes a hot topic in policy work circles, Give People Money will help you fully understand the idea and consider its profound implications. Bill Scher is a Contributing Editor for POLITICO Magazine. He has provided political commentary on CNN, NPR and MSNBC. He has been published in The New York Times, The New Republic, and The New York Daily News among other publications. He is author of Wait! Don’t Move to Canada, published by Rodale in 2006.

How can we end the scourge of poverty? How we can sustain ourselves once robots eliminate the need for many jobs? Annie Lowrey offers an answer in the title of her book, Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World (Crown, 2018). She makes the case for the policy called “Universal Basic Income,” in which the government pays everyone a fixed amount of money whether or not they have a job. The book traces the history of the idea, which goes back centuries and has been embraced at various points by people on the left and the right. Lowrey also shares her travels to Kenya, to witness a pilot UBI program, and to India, to explore its high-tech program to bring banking to the poor and could lead to a UBI system. She talks with politician and philosophers, economists and subsistence farmers. And she addresses critics who fear UBI would be too expensive and discourage work.

On this episode, economics writer Annie Lowrey argues that the government should give people a monthly stipend. Not something you have to jump through hoops to qualify for—rather, if you have a heartbeat, you get cold, hard cash. A universal basic income, of, say, $1000 per month for every American adult could go a long way toward reducing the toll of food insecurity, Lowrey says. Then, we’ll hear from people in a neighborhood who are arguing about whether a different group should get handouts. That group is very vocal and very entitled. They’re chickens.

"The inspiration for this book came from a few places; It was really a knitting together of a number of stories and themes that I had been working on for years, having to do with problems with the welfare system, and the kind of grand promise of just giving people cash coming from developing countries, like Brazil.

anarchy (1)......... jesus CW: Suicide & police brutality Spoke with Aneka from the SoJust Collective about centering POC, the founding fathers, police brutality, educating allies, being tired, passing the mic, no plaforming/active platforming, confronting your racist family, the allyship industrial complex, rewarding white mediocrity, the Red Cross, Rechts Gegen Rechts, difficulties with fundraising, and seriously, ruin Christmas. You can donate to Aneka for their time by sending money to their venmo @pettymcbetty . If you counted more instances of bad allyship than I did, use your number, and if you counted fewer, use mine (14). Notes: - The controversy was in fact about Deady Hall at the University of Oregon, named after Judge Matthew Deady, co-author of the Oregon State Constitution and one of the most influential supporters of Oregon's Exclusion Laws. A good guest viewpoint written on the subject here: http://uwire.com/2016/02/14/guest-viewpoint-deady-hall-must-change/ -For the uninitiated, "FTP" stands for Fuck The Police - There was concern expressed for me, but I'm not in that relationship anymore and that story is very old - Instead of donating to the Red Cross, you can go here to find how to get money directly to those who need it for Hurricane Harvey relief: https://www.colorlines.com/articles/how-donate-money-and-other-aid-communities-color-houston Referenced: CAHOOTS mobile crisis intervention: http://whitebirdclinic.org/cahoots/ Rechts Gegen Rechts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvjIYl_Nlao Update 11/7/20: When this episode aired it was used to deny me a platform with Channel Zero Network. The reason given was because we should be talking about being "accomplices, not allies" and I was given a copy of the zine of the same name to read. However, we do talk about the Ally Industrial Complex in the episode and I disagree with their response that this episode contributes to that mindset. However, you can read a copy of the zine here and decide for yourself: https://archive.org/details/AccomplicesNotAlliesAbolishingTheAllyIndustrialComplex Also, although I proclaimed that "people do listen to me", that is unfortunately largely more wishful than true. To some extent for sure, but it is very dependent on my ability to "mask" and act neurotypical, which is highly variable and an ongoing issue in my life. NT folks need to step up to help us.
