Excellent work by Lyman Stone and collaborators coming out of a CES Convening on housing supported by @Arnold_Ventures. Have a read!

[Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬 @lymanstoneky]

A few years ago I was chewing on a graphs like these ones.

Apartment-dwelling is rising over time. But the evidence suggests that apartment-life is not great for family formation. It's hard to add SFH given land constraints, commute times, etc. So what to do about housing? 1/🧵

Make sure to read @yuenyuenang’s essay "Polytunity", which offers a powerful reframe of our current moment beyond “polycrisis.”

3 Highlights:
1. Reframes “polycrisis” as “polytunity.”
2. AIM paradigm
3. Challenges the industrial-colonial paradigm.

For Labor Day, @Road_To_Now podcast re-aired a great conversation with CES’s @louishyman on how the American Dream became temporary. Lou’s insights into the history of temp work, labor markets & inequality feel especially timely as we reflect on the meaning of work in the US.

[The Road to Now @Road_To_Now]

It’s Labor Day, so we’re sharing one of our favorite conversations on the history of labor in the US - our 2018 conversation with Louis Hyman on his book "Temp: The Real Story of What Happened to Your Salary, Benefits, and Job Security". We hope you have a great holiday!

CES and @SNFAgora Professor Henry Farrell and Georgetown’s Abraham Newman discuss the “weaponized works economy” in Foreign Affairs. Listen to them on the FA’s Interview podcast: https://t.co/Rt7rcucKUR

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

“The problem for the United States is that the Trump administration is gutting the very resources that it needs to advance U.S. interests and protect against countermoves,” write Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman.

Worried about the way government spends and delivers things like affordable housing, clean energy, public transportation, and other vital infrastructure?

Listen to this conversation with CES Director Steve Teles and @pahlkadot on @ezraklein!

🌟 Also in the spotlight is our DUS @simondhalliday and his course on the economics of the workplace:

"We're reading research that spans economics, business, and public policy, and we're looking at experiments that draw insight and tools from sociology and psychology."

🌟 The MPE major featured in @JohnsHopkins HUB! @SNFAgoraJHU

"Our new major teaches students to consider urgent problems...in the social, economic, moral, political, and historical contexts in which they emerged and exist." says @miss_glory

Why do we use GDP rather than GNP as an index of richness, and what's the difference? 🤔

Check out this episode of @Marketplace featuring our own @angusburgin! 🤓

How do we make sense of China's tech boom but overall stagnant growth?

Our own @yuenyuenang has answers-- check out her great piece in @ProSyn!

Why is Xi leading China 🇨🇳 down contradictory trajectory of high-tech boom & stagnating growth?

A little-understood but key factor: political incentives of officials executing his vision
