In the second episode of our Economics of Flourishing series, host Gonzalo Schwarz is joined by Justin Callais to discuss the Archbridge Institute's "Social Mobility in the 50 States" report, which ranks all 50 states on their overall environment for upward mobility. They explore the four pillars of social mobility: Entrepreneurship, Rule of Law, Education and Skills Development, and Social Capital. Dr. Callais emphasizes the importance of taking a holistic approach to social mobility and highlights the need for policy solutions as well as individual agency.
