Mercatus Center Discusses Rebuilding Efforts, Climate Disclosure Rules, and Flexible Benefits for All Workers
This week’s episode of the podcast covers several topics, including the rebuilding efforts following the Baltimore bridge collapse, legal challenges to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new climate disclosure rule, and how China gains an advantage by identifying as a developing country. Our guest for this episode is Liya Palagashvili from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. We discuss various work-related topics such as jobs, full-time versus part-time work, contractors and gig work, California’s Assembly Bill 5, recent Department of Labor actions, and the importance of flexible benefits for all workers.
In recent episodes, we have covered a range of topics including paying for organs, defending election integrity, free markets and the common good, being politically homeless, federal tech, federalism victories, understanding AI, public health and sensory pleasures, the culture of economic freedom, and more.
Join us next week for our interview with Brad Polumbo from Based Politics and the Damage Control podcast.
