About this listen
Why does government policy so often focus on short-term fixes instead of long-term growth?
In This Week’s Economy, we explore how political incentives shape economic policy—and why that leads to decisions that look good today but create bigger problems tomorrow.
We break down:
• Public choice economics and how politicians respond to incentives
• Why short-term policies like redistribution and regulation dominate
• How these choices distort markets and slow long-term growth
• Real-world examples—from price controls to subsidies
• What better, growth-focused policy should look like
The conflict: short-term political wins vs. long-term prosperity.
The takeaway: sustainable growth requires better rules—not just better intentions.
