Podcast episode: Archbridge CEO Gonzalo Schwarz is joined by three scholars, Dr. Vincent Geloso, Dr. Justin Callais, and Vittorio Nastasi, to discuss the role of institutions and the rule of law in supporting social mobility. They examine the research linking economic mobility and the rule of law, as well as the impact of criminal justice policies and penalties on the poor. They also discuss how these measurements are used in the Archbridge Institute’s “Social Mobility in the 50 States” report.
