Economics Happy Hour Podcast · Aug 3, 2023 · 45m

The school choice movement, often called the school voucher movement, has taken off in the past few years. Coming into this conversation, Jadrian didn’t know as much about it while Matt taught about it in his classes. It turns out that there were a lot more pros and cons to discuss on the topic and the conversation introduced some interesting perspectives.

In this episode, we discuss:

* What is meant by school choice/school vouchers

* The arguments for and against vouchers that are made

* Some pop culture and economics references

* And a whole lot more!
