  • Summary

  • How U.S. government incentives create rent-seeking.

    In economics, rent-seeking is extracting wealth without adding value. Trishul provides data and examples of how rent-seeking has made lives harder. Home prices, healthcare, and education have all increased more than incomes, and rent-seeking is partially to blame. They look at how the U.S. government has incentivized individuals at the expense of society as a whole.
