This episode of the Archbridge Podcast, Ben Wilterdink talks with Vincent Geloso and Justin Callais about their recent research demonstrating the connection between economic freedom and economic mobility. The three discuss what restrictions on economic freedom mean for the poor, the importance of property rights, and how markets make systems antifragile but won't create utopias. Justin is a Ph.D. student in Agricultural and Applied Economics at Texas Tech University, a research fellow with the Archbridge Institute, and a research assistant at the Free Market Institute. Vincent is a Senior Fellow of the Fraser Institute and an Assistant Professor of Economics at George Mason University. The two are coauthors of the 2021 paper for the Fraser Institute, Economic Freedom Promotes Upward Income Mobility.
