I&I - Crisis in the political labor market

A New Angle

This week's episode is the November edition of Incentives & Instincts, a recurring series in which Justin speaks with economist and friend Bryce Ward about some of the broader challenges facing our society.
Justin and Bryce discuss the crisis in the political labor market, where fewer people seem interested in running for office, and those who are elected have less experience in government. The pair talk about why this crisis is occurring, including the role of media, money and a shrinking labor supply.
