Atlantic writer and author Derek Thompson and former Congressional candidate Suraj Patel join the show to discuss how to build an abundant society. Are the problems we're facing problems of scarcity? If the things we need like medical care, housing, and child care are getting scarcer and more expensive, why is the supply so low? How can we increase the supply of those things?

The world is so much richer than it was 150 years ago that past generations might look at society today and declare it a utopia. But how did we get here, and are we really living in utopia?

We discuss the key factors that allowed economic growth to explode around 1870, why Brad builds a grand narrative around the 'long 20th century', and why economic growth is the most important lens for understanding human history in the last 150 years.

Left-leaning housing activists often discuss public housing as a solution to the housing shortage, but is this a good idea? Jeremiah and public housing advocate Paul Williams debate the role public housing should play in our response to the housing crisis. Does public housing have advantages over private housing? Is public housing usually lower quality than market-rate housing, and if so who's to blame? Can we build public housing in a cost-effective way? Are subsidies for private housing preferable if we want to help low income people? We discuss all this and more!

Jeff Maurer, comedian and former writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, joins the show to discuss political comedy and why it seems to be in decline.

Almost every major city is defined by a set of zoning regulations - a map that says exactly which types of buildings can be built in which areas, and what you're allowed to use those buildings for. M Nolan Gray, a city planner and author of the new book 'Arbitrary Lines', joins the show to discuss zoning. How did our modern system of zoning develop in the 20th century? What impact does zoning have on our cities? Is zoning to blame for the housing affordability crisis? And should we reform or abolish the systems of zoning that are holding us back?

With the recent wave of shootings across America, what can be done to address the violence? Congressman Brad Schneider joins the podcast to talk about several ways to reduce gun violence and hate crimes. We talk first about his Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, which aims to prevent white-supremacist violence like the recent shooting in Buffalo, NY. Why is this bill needed, what will it do, and how does Rep. Schneider respond to comparisons to the Patriot Act? We also discuss the ongoing conversations happening around gun control - What types of gun regulations could actually make a difference? Can something actually make it through the Senate? All this and more as we try to unravel one of America's most heated and most pressing political questions.

It's the two year anniversary of Jeremiah's kidney donation, and in this episode he makes the argument that you, the listener, should also consider donating. Jeremiah discusses why kidney disease is such a large problem, how much good a donated kidney can do, and why the risks of donation are minimal. He also answers commonly asked questions about the logistics of giving up a kidney, and argues that listeners should seriously think about doing it themselves.

Virginia Postrel, author of The Fabric of Civilization, joins the show for a wide ranging conversation. We discuss the history of cloths, textiles, and fabrics as detailed in her recent book, and why the history of fabrics is often the same thing as the history of technology. We also discuss dynamic vs static attitudes toward the economy and society, the relationship between textiles and economic development, theories of how and why industrialization occurs, and the ins and outs of kidney donation. It's hard to recap every subject we touch on, but this episode is definitely worth your time.

Has the way that Americans think about rights caused our politics to become more polarized and destructive? Columbia Law Professor and Facebook Oversight Board co-chair Jamal Greene joins the podcast to discuss his new book, "How Rights Went Wrong". Should we consider rights to be absolutes?

How should the the government regulate sex work? Should sex work be legal, or decriminalized? What are the biggest issues facing women in this industry? Sex work policy journalist and advocate Cathy Reisenwitz joins the podcast to talk about how the state deals with the 'oldest profession', and what changes she believes society should make. We discuss current laws, how police and other institutions frequently mistreat sex workers, and how to balance between protecting sex workers from harms while not penalizing non-harmful situations.

Jeremiah discusses the events of January 6th in an emergency episode recorded late on the night of the 6th. This episode is less polished and more raw than usual. It discusses the armed invasion of the Capitol by Trump supporters, and their attempt to subvert democracy, on the night that those events took place. It also discusses the larger context of the Republican party's factions, behavior, and how we got to this moment.

On today's episode, Colin Mortimer, the Director of the Center for New Liberalism, is joined by two special guests. First is Adam Hartke, the co-owner of a music venue in Wichita, Kansas, and the co-chair of the advocacy committee at the National Independent Venues Association. We talk about what it has been like to be a music venue owner during this pandemic, suffering the brunt of the economic fallout. Second, PPI's Chief Economic Strategist Michael Mandel comes on to talk about how an obscure tax cut that expires in December might make the recovery for music venues, bars, restaurants, brewers, and others even more difficult than it was already expected to be.

Everyone seems to agree liberalism is under threat these days, but what exactly is liberalism? Is it a set of policy beliefs, a form of centrism, a belief in markets? Adam Gopnik, author of the new book A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism, argues that liberalism is best understood as a practice, not an ideology. We discuss the various ways to frame liberalism as a concept - as a social technology for tolerance, a tendency towards democratic pluralism, belief in reform over revolution, and more. We also discuss how liberalism is dealing with threats today from social media bubbles and right-wing extremism, and how liberal values can still come out ahead.
