There's been a lot of talk recently about young men and their wellbeing, largely thanks to controversial influencers like Andrew Tate, who pushes messages of masculinity, saying that women belong in the home, can't drive, and are a man's property. You might have heard of online trends like 'looksmaxxing' and "red pill blue pill' all very much aimed at males. In New Zealand a local charity is doing its best to provide an alternative place for boys to find guidance. Big Buddy Mentoring Trust takes young boys in search of a role model and gives them mentors who help them create connections - or 'touch grass' as they say online.

Jeanie Tietjen unpacks trauma-informed practices in higher ed and why naming itself is a form of teaching on episode 626 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Naming goes so far back in, even just in literary terms, the importance of naming. -Jeanie Tietjen There is still a very nascent and as yet relatively unarticulated understanding of how profoundly trauma, adversity, and violence adversely affect teaching and learning. -Jeanie Tietjen Many students have experienced traumas that are situated in educational settings, bullying experiences that are identity-based, that profoundly shape how they feel about the educational setting as a place. -Jeanie Tietjen Learning is very vulnerable.

Artificial Intelligence is often positioned as the great democratiser of knowledge. But could it also widen existing inequalities?   In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster is joined by Dipi McKernan, Chief Controls Officer at Lloyds Banking Group, to explore the intersection of AI and social mobility.   Drawing on her own journey and extensive work championing socioeconomic diversity, Dipi shares why social mobility remains a significant challenge across financial and professional services, despite growing awareness and progress. Together, Jason and Dipi discuss how AI could create new opportunities by opening access to knowledge, learning, mentoring and career development that were previously out of reach for many.   But they also examine the risks. As AI reshapes the workforce, what happens to entry-level roles that traditionally provide experience and pathways into leadership? Could bias, unequal access to technology, and a lack of diversity among those building AI systems reinforce existing barriers?   This is a thoughtful conversation about the future of work, opportunity, and the responsibility leaders, educators and organisations have to ensure AI helps create a fairer future rather than a more divided one.

Poor People's Movements and Climate Politics in São Paulo with Daniel Aldana Cohen

In the late 2000s, two movements emerged in Sao Paulo, each trying to make the city more humane and livable for its residents. On the one hand, green policy elites worked on a downtown revitalization plan that would model a moreintelligently dense, and hence lower-carbon, style of urbanism. On the other, the city's housing movement occupied vacant buildings to pressure state actors to build up affordable housing and democratize urban planning. These groupscould have been allies, but first, they ended up on opposite sides of a battle over the future of the city. What were the conditions for the climate and housing agenda to pull in the same direction?There is a line of argumentation that says: “working class people don't care about the environment or climate change; this is a privilege of the middle class or urban educated elites, that is incapable of accounting for the immediate necessities many families have”. And yet, this itself fails to recognize that many working class struggles already have a green agendaof sorts: they want good housing in central places; they want transit systems that work and access to urban amenities that the wealthy already have. In other words, what the environmentalist movement – and its critics - sometimes miss isthat some of the most important climate actors are not always the people who speak in the language of carbon emissions and bike lanes, but rather fight for the right to the city.Talking through this today is Daniel Aldana Cohen, who is not only Assistant Professor  of Sociology at UC Berkeley, but is also one of my models for public intellectual and leftist policynerds, particularly around working class politics and climate change. In this episode, we talk about Daniel's upcoming book, titled Street Fight: Climate Change and Inequality in the 21st Century City. We look at the case of Nova Luz, a downtown redevelopment project sold as a green and dense revitalization urbanism, but that was actually experienced by housing movements as a kind of displacement from above. But the framing that there is an intrinsic conflict between climate and social justice is a strawman – instead, we need to understand the distinction between luxury and democratic ecologies and who reaps the benefits or pays the costs of these different political projects. There is a critique, but also hope in this! The environmental movement is doomed to alienate working class people if it shifts the costs of changes onto the people already bearing the worst brunt of climate change and inequality.But by integrating working class needs – including appropriate measures – such as protecting housing security to avoid green gentrification, or creating affordable housing in central locations – then the power of both movements can reinforce each other. This isn't necessarily easy, and there are tensions tonavigate – but it's the only long-term strategy that can create a deep leftist project of public affluence and climate justice. Daniel Aldana Cohen is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is Director of the Socio-Spatial Climate Collaborative, or (SC)2, and serves as a member of the Graduate Group of the Designated Emphasis in Political Economy. He is also Founding Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute (CCI), a progressive climate and economy think tank. He has been a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar (2021-24), and Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ (2018-19).

The year was 1984, "The Year of the Yuppie," according to Newsweek magazine. Yuppies may have been a classic 1980s stereotype, but they were also a very real demographic as revealed in this month's episode featuring our very own Dylan Gottlieb. Gottlieb explains how hundreds of thousands of highly-educated, young, urban professionals flocked to New York and other cities during the 1980s, transforming the US economy in the process. Yuppies, Gottlieb argues, were the footsoldiers of late twentieth-century financialization, writing the legal briefs and crunching the numbers for the corporate takeovers that fueled Wall Street's rise and the growing inequality that accompanied it. They were also some of financialization's primary beneficiaries. As other Americans saw their wages stagnate and opportunities dwindle, yuppies—and the high salaries they earned—stood out as a lone bright spot in the broader downward 1980s economy, attracting attention from retailers, developers, city officials, and national politicians.

We've been told that if we just show people the data on racial health disparities, change will follow. It hasn't. In this episode, Corey sits down with Dr. Sarah Gollust (University of Minnesota) and Dr. Neil Lewis Jr. (Cornell University), researchers with the Collaborative on Media and Messaging for Health and Social Policy (CommHSP), to unpack why the numbers alone never move people — and what does. They dig into the fear of "backlash," why context changes everything, and the surprising finding that the communities most affected by inequity are often the most ready to act, yet are routinely left out of the research about them.Show NotesWhy does telling people the facts about health disparities so often fail to create change? Dr. Sarah Gollust and Dr. Neil Lewis Jr. have spent two decades studying exactly that question — how media and messaging shape what the public believes about health, race, and who deserves care. In this conversation, they make the case that data without context can backfire, while stories grounded in lived experience can mobilize people across racial and political lines.In this episode:Why "just show them the data" is an incomplete strategy — and what people actually need to understand the why behind health outcomesThe moment a governor called COVID "the great equalizer," and why it crystallized the urgency of getting health communication rightThe study that found 94% of racial-equity messaging research relied on majority-white or all-white samples — and what that bias erased"Beyond fear of backlash": why explaining the causes of disparities removes defensiveness instead of triggering itHow America's individualistic culture pushes people toward blaming individuals ("just eat healthier," "just exercise") instead of seeing systemsWhy people of color, often excluded from the research, turn out to be the most willing to mobilize for changeThe power of narrative transportation — and why Neil opens academic papers with a quote from Dr. King's The Other AmericaHow the collapse of local health journalism makes community-grounded stories harder to tell, and why independent platforms matter more than everKey takeaway: Don't go quiet because the conversation is hard.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In part two of this dynamic conversation, Tom Bilyeu sits down with entrepreneur and author Daniel Priestley to unpack the hidden forces shaping today's economic landscape. Together, they dig deep into models of wealth redistribution, the power—and peril—of technological disruption, and why some countries like those in the Nordics seem to make social safety nets work, while others struggle. Daniel Priestley pulls back the curtain on what really drives inequality in the modern era, from government competence to the impact of repeated technological revolutions. The discussion tackles hot topics like universal basic income, the role of sovereign wealth funds, and what future generations can expect as artificial intelligence reaches an inflection point.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Reihan Salam for a conversation about the rise of the “second generation woke,” the collapse of institutional trust, and why so many young people are turning towards radical politics on both the left and the right.Salam argues that a generation shaped by the 2008 financial crisis, failing institutions, housing insecurity, and cultural alienation has become deeply cynical about the West and increasingly drawn to grievance-based ideologies. We explore why movements around figures like Zohran Mamdani and Hassan Piker are resonating with younger voters, how identity politics evolved into a more professional and organised form of neo-socialism, and why elite institutions have become increasingly hostile to the very inheritance that built them.The conversation examines housing crises, public sector dysfunction, dependency culture, and the collapse of community and family structures. Salam makes the case that modern politics has replaced responsibility and continuity with victimhood, resentment, and what he calls “smash and grab politics” — a short-term mentality that exists on both the authoritarian left and right.We also discuss masculinity, fatherlessness, anti-Western education, immigration, assimilation, and whether younger generations have been psychologically failed by the institutions that raised them. Salam explains why he believes both America and Britain are experiencing a crisis of competence, leadership, and cultural confidence — and why that vacuum is now being filled by increasingly radical movements.Finally, we tackle the future of the Democratic Party, the politics of Gaza and Israel, Trump's immigration policies, rising political violence, and whether America is entering a period of dangerous polarisation that could escalate far beyond online culture wars. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction02:53 The Second Generation Of Woke05:48 The “Adversarial” View Of Western History10:28 Were Young People Failed By The System?12:15 Universities, Housing & The Cost Of Living Crisis20:37 Fatherlessness, Masculinity & Angry Young Men24:11 Dependency Culture & The Hollowing Out Of Community26:41 Why The Modern State Keeps Expanding35:03 Billionaires, Inequality & Public Distrust39:31 The Rise Of The Authoritarian Right44:40 Elites, Victimhood & “Smash And Grab” Politics50:22 Obama, Mamdani & The Radical Left's New Strategy54:08 How Socialist Politics Creates Villains58:36 Why New York Could Be Heading For Crisis1:01:01 Can Neo-Socialism Spread Across America?1:07:06 Is America Heading Towards Civil Conflict?1:11:45 Trump, Immigration & The Future Of MAGA

India has 20–25 years. After that, the demographic window closes. That is the central claim of this conversation. India is racing to do in 50–60 years what the West did in 150–200. To grow rich before it grows old. To become a developed economy while still a democracy — something almost no large country has ever managed. In this Bharatvaarta conversation, Roshan Cariappa sits down with Neelkanth Mishra — Member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Chief Economist at Axis Bank, and one of India's most respected voices on the economy — to ask the question that very few people are asking honestly: Can India actually pull this off? Neelkanth walks us through the real economics of India's next 25 years. The petrol-dollar problem. Why India's inequality is rising — and why that is not the same as repression. Why most countries that grew rich first were not democracies. Why the next leg of India's growth must happen at the state and district level, not at the Centre. Why cities matter more than anyone admits. Why fixing education and healthcare is politically thankless but economically essential. This isn't political commentary. It's an economist's view of what's at stake. We discuss: - Why the Prime Minister's recent remarks on petrol, diesel and foreign travel matter more than they sound - The "grow rich before growing old" framework — and how much time India actually has - Why most countries that got rich first were autocracies — and what that means for democratic India - The land–labour–capital–entrepreneurship lens, and which two are stuck - Why states (not the Centre) hold the keys to India's next leg of growth - The "optimal crisis" theory — why nations don't reform without one - Why inequality is rising, and when it becomes dangerous - Funding cities, urbanisation, and the silent reform India keeps postponing - AI, productivity, and India's race against demographic time ═══════════════════════════════ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (ALL IMPORTANT CHAPTERS) ═══════════════════════════════ 00:00 – India's race against the demographic clock

The Inequality Merry-Go-Round Built By Stanley Tools

In this day of AI smart tools, it's easy to forget that we humans once relied on “dumb” hand tools like saws, drills, screwdrivers, and wrenches.For decades, a major maker of these trusty instruments has been a company in New Britain, Connecticut, appropriately named The Stanley Works.Today, having taken over other big brands like Craftsman and Black & Decker, Stanley is a $15-billion-a-year conglomerate, and many former-workers are asking, “Stanley works for whom?” That's because corporate top executives have quietly orchestrated a decades-long move of Stanley factories out of our country, abandoning the skilled machinists who literally made the brand successful.The final blow comes this week, when Stanley will shut down the last of its redbrick factories in New Britain. An odd move, since workers there produced one of Stanley's most iconic products: The “PowerLock” tape measure. It is enormously popular – indeed, I have two of them. Yet, corporate bosses claim that cheaper, foreign-made tape measures now dominate the market, so – Poof! – goodbye 300 American jobs.But wait, Stanley didn't eliminate the jobs, it just moved them. To Thailand, where labor is paid 75% less than in Connecticut. Indeed, the major foreign competitor to Stanley turns out to be… Stanley! It has been building modernized production factories in Thailand, even as it divested in US factories and increased shipments of its foreign-made tape measures to the US.Stanley's CEO was paid $7.6 million last year. Nice, but now, the paychecks of 300 more workers can be reallocated to global shareholders… and give another hike in the chief's pay. And that's how the Inequality Merry-Go-Round keeps spinning… round and round and round.Do something!To fight for good jobs and an economy that benefits everyone, check out and support the work of Jobs with Justice, jwj.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In this week's episode, host David Myers leads a discussion with Amanda Shanor, Sigal Ben-Porath, and Serena Mayeri about the legal and historical implications of the Trump administration's request for lists of Jewish students, faculty, and organizations at the University of Pennsylvania. The conversation situates the subpoena within broader federal investigations into alleged campus anti-Semitism following October 7, 2023, while arguing that the demand for names, personal contact information, and organizational affiliations raises profound constitutional concerns. The panelists contend that the request threatens First Amendment protections surrounding free association, religious identity, and academic freedom, particularly because it targets individuals based on protected forms of expression and affiliation.Serena Mayeri is the Arlin M. Adams Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and a Professor of History (by courtesy). Serena has many publications including her first book Reasoning from Race: Feminism, Law, and the Civil Rights Revolution (Harvard University Press, 2011) and her new book is Marital Privilege: Marriage, Inequality, and the Transformation of American Law (Yale University Press, 2025).Sigal Ben-Porath is the MRMJJ Presidential Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. She also currently serves as the faculty director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Paideia Program. Her areas of expertise include philosophy of education and political philosophy. She has published numerous books including Cancel Wars (2022) and Making Up Our Mind: What School Choice is Really About (2019).Amanda Shanor is an Associate Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Today's political debates are fiercely polarized. But looking beyond the headlines, The Trigger Points: Inequality and Political Polarization in Contemporary Society (Policy Press, 2026) shows that ordinary citizens hold much more nuanced, less divided views. Drawing on rich survey data and group discussions, this work maps four major areas of conflict: migration, climate change, diversity, and economic justice. Across these conflicts, most citizens take positions that are middle-of-the-road, contradictory, or undecided. It is only certain ‘trigger points' – like gendered pronouns or refugee admissions – that predictably ignite tensions and deep disagreement. Political entrepreneurs know this and weaponize trigger points for their agenda. Yet the real key to contemporary conflicts, the book argues, lies in social inequality. This is a vital work that maps today's political landscape without sensationalism, offering a fresh lens on public debate. This interview was conducted by Dr. Hannah Pool, a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies.

The criticisms of Tuesday's federal budget have already started. Labor is facing allegations of broken promises over changes to negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount. And there is frustration in the electorate about the government's $50bn increase in defence spending over the next decade, while also significantly reducing the growth in NDIS spending. Political editor Tom McIlroy speaks to finance minister Katy Gallagher who, along with treasurer Jim Chalmers, is leading the decision making on a budget that claims to address intergenerational fairness – while also being responsible and resilient in an uncertain global environment

Jon Hartley and Phil Gramm discuss Graham's career as an academic economist at Texas A&M, his service in the US House of Representatives and in the US Senate, and his work on the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings and Gramm-Leach-Bliley legislation. Graham also talks about his recent books on the role that economic freedom plays in economic growth, as well as various fallacies surrounding the rise of inequality in the US. Recorded on April 28, 2026. ABOUT THE SERIES Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy. The podcast is titled after Milton Friedman‘s famous 1962 bestselling book Capitalism and Freedom, which after 60 years, remains prescient from its focus on various topics which are now at the forefront of economic debates, such as monetary policy and inflation, fiscal policy, occupational licensing, education vouchers, income share agreements, the distribution of income, and negative income taxes, among many other topics.
