The war on poverty is a never-ending one. Even with poverty among American children at a near all-time low, children who are born into poverty still have a high chance of ending up in poverty. In his new book Doing Right by Kids: Leveraging Social Capital and Innovation to Increase Opportunity Scott Winship, director of the Center on opportunity and Social Mobility at the American Enterprise Institute, lays out a road map to make sure our children's future is brighter tomorrow.

Americans' views on the economy have soured in recent years, often seemingly disconnected with the realities of work and growth in incomes. One particularly pernicious meme, found on both the left and the right, is that economic growth has not translated into higher wages for American workers. This week on Hardly Working, Brent sits down with Scott Winship, who dispels this myth in his recent report, “Understanding Trends in Worker Pay over the Past 50 Years.” Brent and Scott discuss the changing dynamics of the economy, the shifting demand for skills, and how we can expand opportunity within the world's largest and most dynamic economy.

Does worker pay track with worker productivity? Do bureaucrats represent the American people? What does smuggling alcohol have to do with supporting tariffs? Scott Winship sits down with Dominic Pino to discuss these questions and more on this episode of Econception. Scott Winship is the Director of the Center for Social Mobility and Opportunity at the American Enterprise Institute.

Jeremy Horpedahl is the director of the Arkansas Center for Research in Economics and an associate professor at the University of Central Arkansas . Today we talk about American Compass's Cost of Thriving Index (COTI), what it says and why it is wrong. The COTI shows that Americans today have a higher cost of thriving than ever before, but in a paper with AEI's Scott Winship, Horpedahl corrects the index and shows that the cost of thriving has instead decreased. Some of the corrections are essential to the average American's life, for example accounting for changes in taxation in the past few decades. Listen in to hear more about the cost of thriving today, why it has decreased, and how I cannot pronounce COTI for the life of me.   Never miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Is this generation better off than our parents were in 1985? That is the debate in Washington, and it reflects a greater malaise felt by Americans. Rachel and Taylor discuss the Cost of Thriving Index debate between think tankers Oren Kass and Scott Winship, as well as the broader beginnings of the presidential debate. We finish up with how we should think about our politics on these issues in a new way, instead.

Does the typical American family today enjoy better living standards compared to 1985? We may have bigger TVs in our living rooms and smartphones in our pockets, but a recent report from Washington, DC, think tank the American Compass suggests the cost of a thriving, middle-class lifestyle has risen over the past generation. To discuss what that report gets right and where it falls short, I'm joined today by Jeremy Horpedahl.Jeremy is an associate professor of economics at the University of Central Arkansas. He's also the co-author, along with AEI's Scott Winship, of the recent report, "The Cost of Thriving Has Fallen: Correcting and Rejecting the American Compass Cost-of-Thriving Index." That report argues a better methodology shows modest gains for the typical American family.

How affordable is a middle-class lifestyle in America? One study from the American Compass found that the cost of being in the middle class has skyrocketed. But Scott Winship from the Center on Opportunity and Social Mobility at AEI says there are major flaws in the study and Americans are better off than reported. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On the Cost of Thriving Index, published by Zvi on June 26, 2023 on LessWrong. Scott Winship argued recently that the ‘cost of thriving' has fallen, pushing back once again against Oren Cass and his rather arbitrarily calculated ‘Cost of Thriving Index (COTI).' Alex Tabarrok posted today on Marginal Revolution that Winship and coauthor Horpedahl were right, but that they face an uphill battle because people feel they are wrong, and suggested that our newly high time-value warps our perceptions. He points to Linder's Theorem, which I hadn't seen before, which states (correctly): “rising productivity decreases the demand for commodities whose consumption is expensive in time.” Who is right, and why? If thriving is easier now, why does everyone think it isn't? Overview of the Disagreement My analysis of the details shows that both perspectives are flawed. Cass uses sloppy calculations, especially double counting employer-provided health insurance payments, and his calculations importantly exclude changes in taxation. Winship and Horpedahl offer useful correctives to the sloppiness of the original Cass calculations in some places, and point out the rather glaring omission of taxation. But they misunderstand the purpose of creating a Cost of Thriving Index. In several places, they therefore do the wrong calculation, confusing improved quality of goods with reduced cost of thriving. COTI attempts to capture an important thing: Even if the quality of the standard ‘basket of goods' is improved, that doesn't change that there are huge pressures forcing people to buy whatever is the standard goods basket, and ‘improved quality' is nice but fails to cancel this effect out. Winship does not seem to appreciate why that is an important thing to be measuring. Excluding women and younger workers here is not arbitrary either. The whole idea is to ask what it takes for a typical man to support a typical family – you can't simply decide to measure something else. Let's look at the proposed modifications, as argued in the Twitter thread. Scott Winship: New from me and @jmhorp: “The Cost of Thriving Has Fallen: Correcting and Rejecting the American Compass Cost-of-Thriving Index”. Our critique of the @AmerCompass COTI developed by @oren_cass. Working paper version is up here. Cass argues that there are not enough weeks in the year for the typical male worker to afford five basic “needs”, and that this “COTI” is up 22 weeks since 1985. We first work within his framework, improving his estimates and correcting a couple of clear errors. Doing so gets the COTI for 2022 down to 42 weeks, up only 10 weeks from 1985. But we're just getting started. Cass assumes that when spending on, say, owning and operating a typical car rises by a certain amount, that this increase is entirely a “cost” increase. But of course, a spending increase can reflect people paying more for better stuff (rather than the same stuff). Digging into the price adjustments reveals how ad-hoc the original numbers were. It seems mostly correct to accept the new calculations in the Improved COTI, which represent a -25% adjustment, and then include the 13% adjustment for taxes, resulting in about a -13% adjustment. This still represents an increase in the cost of thriving. Other adjustments reflect an instinct not to measure the thing to be measured. Thriving in 2023 means consuming a legitimately far superior basket of goods than thriving required in 1985. This is true at least in food, transportation and health care. There are also other unmeasured areas with vast improvements, such as items associated with leisure and entertainment. There are also other areas, less anchored to physical good consumption, where typical quality of life got worse. Those adjustments belong in our understanding of how things have changed, and whet...

Hopes of expanding the Child Tax Credit are fading as Congress prepares to vote for an omnibus spending bill and head home for Christmas. The policy made a serious impact on poverty in the short run. But what is the true cost of the policy for American families... in the long run? Scott Winship from the American Enterprise Institute says the CTC gives parents an incentive not to work in the long term and hurt kids' chances for upward mobility. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Expanding economic opportunity for working and middle-class families has been a policy priority for decades, but there are better and worse ways to approach this end-goal. In fact, policies of the past have at times ended up being counterproductive, putting further constraints on working-class families or discouraging healthy behaviors like two-parent child rearing. Understanding the interplay between policy prescriptions and incentive structures on the one hand and family formation, social capital, and intergenerational mobility on the other hand, is a key part of supporting workers and working families. AEI director of poverty studies, Scott Winship's recent report, https://www.aei.org/research-products/report/reforming-tax-credits-to-promote-child-opportunity-and-aid-working-families/ (Reforming tax credits to promote child opportunity and aid working families,) explores just this interplay when it comes to tax relief for families. In this episode of “https://www.aei.org/tag/hardly-working-podcast/ (Hardly Working)”, Scott Winship and I discuss his recent findings, his policy proposals for tax credit reform, the current state and history of safety net programs, as well as how to support social capital development.

Bernie and the Squad want you to believe poverty and income inequality are worse than ever in America. But what's the truth? Dr. Scott Winship, director of poverty studies at American Enterprise Institute, joins us to look at the current state of poverty in America. We examine Bernie's claims that the rich are stealing wealth from the middle class, assess how our social welfare programs and safety net benefits are impacting everything from employment to income mobility to intergenerational poverty, and ask what reforms we could implement to help Americans who are truly trapped in the poverty cycle. Dr. Scott Winship is a senior fellow and the director of poverty studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he researches social mobility and the causes and effects of poverty. He also focuses on economic insecurity and inequality, among other poverty issues. Follow him on Twitter at @swinshi.

Should feminists be pro-life? Should conservatives support more welfare for families? Who is Mary Wollstonecraft? What did RBG get right and wrong? I dug into these questions with my guest today, the legal scholar Erika Bachiochi. Our discussion centers on Erika's new book, The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision, which argues for a form of feminism that takes into account natural differences between men and women, especially in what she calls “reproductive asymmetry” i.e. that having sex and having children carry different implications for men and women. We talk about her journey from a Bernie Sanders supporting kind of feminist to a Roman Catholic kind of feminist, including a strong pro-life moral basis. Her intellectual heroine is the 18th century thinker Mary Wollstonecraft, who had a feminist vision that was about the equal pursuit of the good, which Erika John Stuart Mill's feminism based on a perfect equality.  We talk about what Ruth Bader Ginsburg got right and wrong, whether conservatives should be supporting President Biden's big pro-family welfare expansions, the Texas abortion law, family-friendly policy, and much more.  I should say that at the very beginning Erika candidly describes her troubled childhood and early adulthood, which in her darkest hours ever led her to thoughts of suicide. Erika Bachiochi  Erika Bachiochi is a legal scholar specializing in Equal Protection jurisprudence, feminist legal theory, Catholic social teaching, and sexual ethics. She studied at Middlebury College and got her law degree from Boston University. Erika is now a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a Senior Fellow at the Abigail Adams Institute, where she directs the Wollstonecraft Project. She lives in Boston with her husband and seven children.  More Bachiochi  Bachiochi's new book, The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision, is a thoughtful and provocative read.  Her previous article in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, titled Embodied Equality: Debunking Equal Protection Arguments for Abortion Rights, served as a basis for her book.  Bachiochi has also written a few op-eds for Newsweek Follow her work on twitter: @erikabachiochi Also mentioned  Bachiochi quited Mill in On Liberty: “misplaced notions of liberty prevent moral obligations on the part of parents from being recognized, and legal obligations from being imposed” She also quoted Wollstonecraft in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: “A truly benevolent legislator always endeavours to make it the interest of each individual to be virtuous; and thus private virtue becoming the cement of public happiness, an orderly whole is consolidated by the tendency of all the parts towards a common center”  We referenced my work on the economic and social status of American women.  We discussed the work of my colleague, Isabel Sawhill, and her book Generation Unbound  I referenced Scott Winship's work on the dynamics of marriage and childrearing  Bachiochi spoke about Mary Ann Glendon, a leading thinker in this space and a professor at Harvard Law.  She also referenced Joan Williams' op-ed in the New York Times, titled The Case for Accepting Defeat on Roe.  I quoted Margaret Mead who wrote, “We won't get equality between groups by ignoring the differences between them.”  Earlier this summer, Josh Hawley tweeted that he was against including women in the draft because he didn't want to “force [service] upon our daughters, sisters, and wives.” We mentioned Heather Boushey who currently serves on the White House Council of Economic Advisors, and her work on family policy, for example in her Finding Time: The Economics of Work-Life Conflict (2016). The Mary Wollstonecraft twitter account I referred to seems to have gone quiet lately. As an alternative.

What is the difference between a liberal, a neoliberal, a new liberal, and a progressive? In this joint episode with The Neoliberal Podcast, hosted by Jeremiah Johnson, you'll get all the answers you want and probably a few more besides. This is a pretty wide-ranging discussion on the state of liberalism in the world today, how to lean into identity politics, the threat from authoritarianism, what the term "neoliberal" means both historically and in contemporary politics, the case for race-conscious policies, why right now liberals basically have to be Democrats, politically speaking.

Americans have a reputation for being cockeyed optimists, but we're suckers when it comes to "declension narratives" about the fallen state of our world.

On this week’s podcast, Scott Winship, resident scholar and director of poverty studies at the American Enterprise Institute, joins Mike Petrilli and David Griffith to discuss the expanded and fully refundable child tax credit that’s included in President Biden's Covid-19 relief bill—and why it should give conservatives pause. On the Research Minute, Amber Northern examines how special education affects the odds that students with disabilities face school discipline.

Jonah is joined by Scott Winship – the director of Poverty Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and fresh off the heels of his position within Senator Mike Lee’s Social Capital Project. Jonah asks Scott about the persistence of poverty in American society, and what progress has been made both recently and over the long term. Then, they get into why some of the obstacles that have to be removed in order to lift poor people up are more intractable than others. In part, Scott thinks that these difficulties “show how we’re hardwired to think about these problems in economic terms rather than in terms of social bonds,” and that certain data may blind us when searching for the real issues.   Show Notes: -Scott’s research at AEI -Richard Burkhauser on poverty in the 60s versus now -The Social Capital Project -Raj Chetty on people doing better than their parents -Mr. Piketty’s big book of Marxiness -Jonah and Peter Beinart See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Winship is Director of Poverty Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Before joining AEI, Dr. Winship served as the executive director of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) and worked at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, the Brookings Institution and the Pew Charitable Trusts. On this episode, Scott joins Robert and Phoebe to talk about economic inequality and poverty in America.  

Children who are born and raised in two-parent families are significantly more likely to avoid poverty and other adverse social outcomes but how that happens is unclear. Brent talks to Scott Winship, Director of Poverty Studies at AEI and co-author of a new report on family structure in America entitled “https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/2020/7/the-demise-of-the-happy-two-parent-home?fbclid=IwAR1jCsk4L__ydljFo3UKpGLJVeF1fCgpWefU6EPc27NUZAXMqnwxnl-hL4A (The Demise of the Happy Two-Parent Home)”. They discuss family stability, economic security, and how family structure contributes to the success for children. 

Scott Winship addresses the many misconceptions surrounding levels of poverty, as well as the degree and importance of inequality, in the United States, and he also explores how much economic mobility Americans enjoy today compared to the past.

The dominant narrative about the US economy posits that income and wealth inequality have exploded, wages have gone nowhere in 30 or 40 years, and upward mobility has declined dramatically, leaving too many Americans mired in poverty. But are these claims accurate? What is the state of poverty and economic opportunity in the United States?

Some political leaders are saying that inequality is at unacceptable levels and should be countered by higher taxes at the top end. But income and wealth inequality are complex issues that are often misunderstood. Scott Winship is a long-time expert on inequality and economic mobility and will discuss income inequality. He will be followed by Chris Edwards, who will discuss wealth inequality data, the role of wealth in the economy, and the possible effects of an annual wealth tax.Winship is executive director of the Joint Economic Committee, chaired by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), and leads the committee’s Social Capital Project, a research effort aimed at understanding the health of families, communities, and civil society. The chairman’s office recently released a study comparing measures of income concentration. Edwards examined wealth taxation in a recent Cato study and has completed a new Cato study on wealth inequality with Cato scholar Ryan Bourne.

In this special edition we hear personal stories from the Great Recession and ask who has paid the highest price. From mortgage defaults and job losses to stagnant wages, we find out how hard the last 10 years have been for many individuals and families, and ask what legacy the financial crisis has left. Plus, where might the next crash come from, and are we any better prepared to withstand it? Manuela Saragosa leads the discussion with a panel of experts: Adam Tooze, professor of history at Columbia University and author of Crashed: How a Decade of Global Financial crises Changed the World; Pablo Bustinduy, a member of parliament in the Spanish anti-austerity political party Podemos; and Scott Winship, a poverty and inequality researcher, formerly of the Brookings Institution and now directing the Social Capital Project within the Joint Economic Committee of the US Congress.

One of the most popular theories about Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 is that Trump appealed to an increasing number of Americans—especially white Americans without a college degree—with feelings of alienation and loneliness. In 2015, Princeton economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton published a landmark paper documenting a “marked increase” in deaths among middle-aged white Americans in the 21st century, at a time when mortality was decreasing for everyone else.

In this podcast episode, Scott Winship discusses his research about poverty trends in the United States, arguing that welfare reform in 1996 did not lead to an increase in the numbers of those in extreme poverty and that fewer people are living on $2-a-day or less than has been previously reported.

After we spoke in Episode 19, Scott mentioned that we should have looked at one of my previous NMUSA Project Grant applications as an example to help other applicants, and I immediately started kicking myself for not thinking of that earlier. So this week, that's exactly how we start the episode – we look through two of my previous applications (screen-capped below). Then we go on to look at a few applications from the String Orchestra of Brooklyn (with the permission and at the behest of Ep. 23 guest Emily Bookwalter), as well as a broad look at some previously-awarded projects. It's a great talk, and I absolutely learned a TON in the process. On a personal note: great job to all of you who have been emailing Scott and his team about your applications after he was on the show earlier this Fall. That's exactly what I was hoping for, and exactly what we all need to do to make our applications better! Scroll down for screencaps and audio samples from the applications that Scott and I talk about. Links: The Portfolio Composer: Ep. 11 – Missy Mazzoli on Grant Writing and Marketing Yourself

Why have people been so fixated on income inequality lately? Is it really a matter of “the 1%” versus “the 99%”? How do things like occupational licensing, energy use, and regulation tie in to this? How do these things stack the deck against poor people?Show Notes and Further ReadingHere are Ryan Young’s two most recent papers on the inequality, which he coauthored along with Iain Murray. “People, Not Ratios: Why the Debate over Income Inequality Asks the Wrong Questions” and “The Rising Tide: Answering the Right Questions in the Inequality Debate.”Freedom on Trial is our new courtroom drama that takes viewers into the heart of the everyday issues that arise when an employer’s desire to hire more employees runs into the barrier of minimum wage laws, and when the government’s plans to “solve” income inequality only makes things worse.The quote Trevor paraphrases near the beginning of the show was a bit of wisdom from Anatole France: “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”For a closer look at Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century, here’s an older episode of Free Thoughts with Scott Winship.

For this week's episode, I sat down with Scott Winship, the Director of Grantmaking at New Music USA to talk about the organization's Project Grants, and answer a few listener questions. It was a great conversation with a lot of really great tips for making your application the best it can be. Some of the things we talked about were: The American Music Center & Meet the Composer merger, which created New Music USA How the NMUSA are a reaction to the ways that artists make their art today The grant application process The panel process The general breakdown of the awards Effective work samples Making use of collaborator profiles Narratives & project descriptions Giving yourself time to put together a compelling application Getting feedback Question: When is the music “not enough”? Your budget The private description Question: Why does it seem like the “usual suspects” seem to get awarded every round? Question: Is there a weight to individual, ensemble, or organization applications? The new grant deadline for 2016/2017 Links: New Music USA American Composers Forum

The Debt Dialogues is a weekly podcast that aims to educate young people about the welfare state and how it will affect their future. In this episode, I interview Scott Winship, Manhattan Institute scholar, on inequality and economic growth.

Income inequality has been on the rise for decades. In the last 30 years, the wages of the top 1% have grown by 154%, while the bottom 90% has seen growth of only 17%. As the rungs of the economic ladder move further and further apart, conventional wisdom says that it will become much more difficult to climb them. Opportunities for upward mobility—the American dream—will disappear as the deck becomes stacked against the middle class and the poor. But others see inequality as a positive, a sign of a dynamic and robust economy that, in the end, helps everyone. And contrary to public opinion, mobility has remained stable over the past few decades. If the American dream is dying, is it the result of income inequality? Or is disparity in income a red herring where more complex issues are at play? The Debaters are Elise Gould, Edward Conard, Nick Hanauer, and Scott Winship. Learn more about your ad choices.
