Show Notes
Karl runs through the immense advantages property investors enjoy. The list starts at 27 but how many do we end up with? Whilst these advantages exist at the macro and the micro, those locked out of housing face little but policy fraud, as regular listeners will be aware. How much economic pain will the locked out face before a little economic study helps rebalance this supposed level playing field?

The WSJ in Defense of the Dismal Science:

Economists pride themselves on being the most scientific of social scientists. This leads them to reduce all human motives and behavior to quantifiable variables such as utility, welfare and income. But people are not by nature quantitative, and their motives often have no economic basis. Today’s most divisive issues, from fairness and inequality to national identity and culture, don’t have economic solutions.

waaa? Well there are no solutions for neo-classical economists that’s for sure.
