Edward Glaeser on Joblessness and the War on Work

Edward Glaeser talks with host Russ Roberts about what he calls the war on work--policy changes that have reduced employment among prime-aged men. Glaeser does not see universal basic income as a viable solution to the decrease in work especially if technology ends up reducing employment opportunities more dramatically in the future. The conversation also includes a discussion of the role of cities and the reduction in geographic mobility in the United States.
