Oren Cass

An exploration of how society should be organized to reward, rather than punish, the productive, rather than parasitical, members of society, and of why GDP is a stupid way to measure both wealth and social health. Not that any of Oren Cass's excellent recommendations will be implemented until the present dispensation is utterly destroyed. (This article was first published December 24, 2018.)

Why in the world is student debt treated differently than all other kinds of debt? Why does the cost of college keep sky-rocketing? Why do colleges and universities have so little skin in the game when it comes to the debt students incur to attend these institutions?On this week’s Crazy Money, Oren Cass helps answer these important questions about higher education in the U.S. The author of ‘The Once and Future Worker: a Vision for the Renewal of Work in America,’ Oren’s recent article ‘The Banality of Student Loans’ (link below) outlines the contradictions and self-defeating policies that have led us to this educational morass.Oren and I discuss why we have a “college for all” approach and why it is the wrong way to prepare the vast majority of young Americans for a career–especially those who need an economic boost the most. We talk about why the federal government should not underwrite student loans and who should. He argues that colleges and universities should take more accountability for the price and product they provide to their students. And I (Paul, yes it’s me writing these show notes) vent about “these damn young kids - don’t they know what ‘obligation’ means?” I know you're gonna find this conversation interesting and enlightening and you should share it with all your friends. Oren is the Executive Director of American Compass. He graduated Williams College and Harvard Law School, magna cum laude.💰If you enjoy Crazy Money, please leave us a rating here. 💰✍️Get Paul’s Substack newsletter here.✍️🔥Subscribe to us on YouTube here. 🔥  Follow Oren- Twitter - https://twitter.com/oren_cassWebsite - https://orencass.com/The Banality of Student Loans (Article) - https://bit.ly/3duXiBUThe Once and Future worker - https://amzn.to/3p9dg7nAmerican Compass Org -https://americancompass.org/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The basic premise of capitalism has always been that more people generating more profits will be better for everybody. Oren Cass wants to challenge that premise by prioritizing values over value and over market power.Oren was formerly an Economic Advisor to the Mitt Romney Presidential Campaign, now executive director of the nonprofit American Compass and author of The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the Renewal of Work in America (2018). A successful economy, according to him, should not be measured by consumption but by opportunities for all to be productive with a wide range of aptitudes and interests. Luigi, Bethany, and Oren discuss what this means for replacing jobs with AI, China's economic relationship with the US, the idea of "Big Labor", and the interplay of neoliberalism with capitalism.Plus, Luigi and Bethany discuss Elon Musk and Twitter for the Capital-Is/Ins't section (47:00)
