% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In this 10 July 2025 video, host John Papola sat down with economist Antony Davies to discuss what’s right and wrong about our economy.

Most Americans live materially wealthier lives than most other humans alive today, never mind in centuries past. However, young people are experiencing very real distress, with rising rates of serious mental illness. Is housing affordability the main problem? Are universities to blame? Antony shares his perspective on income inequality, the perverse incentives of government intervention, and how AI will change our society.
