Is the American Dream Still a Thing? with Harvard Economist Raj Chetty

Published 7 hours ago
Description

Raj Chetty has the IRS (and Facebook) data to make sense of how we make it in America. In this episode we discuss what it means to make it, why progress is still possible and why your Zip Code and closest friends may dictate your riches.


This is the second episode of our SGDQ Smart Money series, presented by Chime. Also on the agenda: why GDP can be up while the vibes are down, what’s the right income bracket to have a kid, and where you should (and shouldn’t) move if you want your kids to have a better shot than the “Lost Einsteins.”
