Dr. Judge Glock on housing affordability and local debt crises and what to do about them.

Hello Friends!

Check out this LPP episode with the exceptional Dr. Judge Glock, director of research and a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor at City Journal. He was formerly the senior director of policy and research at the Cicero Institute, a nonpartisan think tank based in Austin, and a visiting professor of economics at West Virginia University.

We explore his thoughts on the following and more:

• With his background in economic history, what are we getting right and wrong in America today? What are some of the biggest issues you're working on now? 

• You've done a lot of work on housing and had a great episode with Russ Roberts on EconTalk (one of my favorite podcasts); what are the primary issues with housing, and what should be done about them?

• What about infrastructure? Congress has supposedly spent a lot of money on it, and Biden likes to tout it, but how is that going, and is it on the right things? 

• How should we attack the national debt crisis and avoid the economic fallout? What’s going on with local debt issues in Chicago and beyond?
