The Gray Area with Sean IllingWhy the coronavirus is so deadly for black AmericaIn Michigan, African Americans represent 14 percent of the population, 33 percent of infections, and 40 percent of deaths. In Mississippi they represent 38 percent of the population, 56 percent of infections, and 66 percent of deaths. In Georgia they represent 16 percent of the population, 31 percent of infections, and just over 50 percent of deaths. The list goes on and on: Across the board, African Americans are more likely to be infected by Covid-19 and far more likely to die from it.This doesn’t reflect a property of the virus.

Diario de un ConfinamientoHomo sapiens, homus idiotus. Día 48Científicos y expertos eminentes advirtieron desde 2013 del enorme peligro de los virus en un mundo globalizado. Ningún Gobierno les hizo caso. Las hipótesis del filósofo alemán Peter Sloterdijk (La vida actual no invita a pensar) y del escritor uruguayo Washington Abdala (El homus idiotus; Aguilar, 2019) se cumplen trágicamente. La decadencia del homo sapiens debe combatirse con urgencia desde la escuela. El fomento como herramienta pedagógica del ajedrez, un juego que incita a pensar, puede ser muy útil a la hora de mejorar la calidad de la educación.

Hold These Truths with Dan CrenshawAmerican Cities in the Age of COVID-19, with Dr. Edward GlaeserHarvard University’s Dr. Edward Glaeser joins Dan to examine the implications of COVID-19 on the economics of American cities. Why has the role of cities in battling pandemics changed dramatically over the past century? Will urban or rural communities recover more quickly after the economic shutdown ends? What is the best way to reduce the economic harm to workers who lost their incomes because of the shutdown? Should cities approach their housing and infrastructure policies differently going forward? Dr. Glaeser also sheds light on the more fundamental question of why cities exist in the first place. Dr...2020-04-291h 10

In this episode we explore why change is unlikely to be as terrifying as people have convinced themselves it’s likely to be, why unleashing private developers and allowing real growth promotes affordability (hint: “There is no repealing the laws of supply and demand!”).

Ask a Harvard ProfessorEdward Glaeser: Should We All Be Living in Cities?Cities are an integral part of Earth’s future: by 2050, 68 percent of the world’s population will be living in an urban area. Solutions to social problems, from climate change to poverty, will therefore be tied to the fates of cities. In this episode, Glimp professor of economics Ed Glaeser explains why he is overwhelmingly optimistic about urban growth. Cities, he says, are engines of innovation and economic activity that create opportunity. “Humans are a social species that gets smart,” he explains, “by being around other smart people.” When they do, their impact on the planet’s climate is lessened in su...2019-09-3030 min

Room for DiscussionEdward Glaeser - The Triumph of the CityIn Edward Glaeser’s ‘Triumph of the City’, published in 2011, he describes how our biggest invention can make us richer, smarter, greener, healthier, and happier. This is mostly caused by economies of scale, and a smaller commuting time for most of us. Next to that, cities are a valuable way to look for innovation, as great minds are more likely to diffuse their knowledge and skills if they are within reach of each other.But how can these advantages be created, and can the inequality in big cities be reduced?

How Do We Fix It?#113 America's Male Unemployment Crisis: Ed GlaeserHere's a paradox. While the U.S. unemployment rate is near a 16-year low, the percentage of all American adults in the workforce remains stuck at well below pre-recession levels.Men are much more likely than women to drop out of work. In the 1960's 95% of adult men between 25 and 54 were employed. Today, after 7 years of an improving job market, only 80% are in the workforce.People who don't look for a job are not counted in the official unemployment statistics compiled by the Labor Department.
