Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9 Ep61: Cooperatives in the 21st century
Q: Would co-ops help us to deal with the potential effects of AI?
Caselli argues that cooperative ownership would distribute AI-driven productivity gains to workers and make firms more likely to seek AI that assists workers rather than replacing them.
S9 Ep61: Cooperatives in the 21st century
Q: Are executive earnings in general outpacing other wages?
Caselli says they have outpaced other wages for roughly 45 to 50 years, but stresses that inequality also reflects rising profits accruing to the owners of firms.
S9 Ep60: The challenges to the international financial system
Q: Why are we talking about the genuine risk to the dollar status as a global currency now?
Bruno points to April 2025, when US stocks, Treasuries and the dollar fell together. Foreign investors hedged their dollar exposure rather than leaving US markets, and a future US-originating shock could prompt similar hedging.
S9 Ep60: The challenges to the international financial system
Q: Why are we so concerned about the potential impact of global imbalances on the global financial system in 2026?
Tille says aggregate imbalance measures have risen only modestly, but China's exceptionally large trade surplus and limited domestic demand are putting pressure on trading partners and contributing to concerns about job losses and structural adjustment.
S9 Ep59: Life after divorce
Q: Does joint custody lead to better performance at school than sole custody?
The researchers find that children in joint custody perform better academically, with the difference comparable to about two years of schooling. They do not detect an effect on children's mental-health prescriptions, but find that these children attend higher-quality schools.
