Bryan Caplan - Nurturing Orphaned Ideas, Education, and UBI

Bryan Caplan

Economics expert Robert Shimer critiques the unschooling model's impact on numeracy, rejects Universal Basic Income for its fiscal unsustainability, and argues that restrictive housing regulations are a primary driver of global poverty. His upcoming projects, including the book *Poverty: Who to Blame* and the graphic novel *Build Baby Build*, aim to rehabilitate distinctions regarding personal responsibility and demonstrate how zoning laws impoverish the United States by 10-20%. Furthermore, the speaker challenges the moral foundations of nationalism and immigration bans, suggesting that government policies often hold capable individuals in poverty rather than inherent incapability being the cause.
