480. How Much Does Discrimination Hurt the Economy?

from Freakonomics Radio · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher

Evidence from Nazi Germany and 1940’s America (and pretty much everywhere else) shows that discrimination is incredibly costly — to the victims, of course, but also the perpetrators. One modern solution is to invoke a diversity mandate. But new research shows that’s not necessarily the answer. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
