  1. A $5,000 Baby Bonus, Birth Rates, and...the Manosphere?

    A $5,000 Baby Bonus, Birth Rates, and...the Manosphere?

    Can you pay people to have kids? On one hand, countries that have beefed up social safety nets and pay people to procreate often see short-term success. But long-term results have been remarkably consistent worldwide: It’s very hard to pay people to have children. My guest, writer Meagan Day, joins me today to discuss the recent birth rate data, the growing appeal of opt-out fantasies proffered by both tradwife influencers and the manosphere alike, and what our leaders would be wise to consider—beyond a one-time baby bonus.

  2. The $175K Factory Worker: What Happens When Employees Own Stock

    The $175K Factory Worker: What Happens When Employees Own Stock

    Given private equity’s reach (1 in 25 work for a business owned by a PE firm), the industry has the power to shape work culture at scale, for better or for worse. And ironically, that’s exactly why Pete Stavros, co-head of global private equity for KKR, thinks he’s in a unique position to bring employee ownership to the mainstream. Pete’s goal? To dramatically expand the number of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) that grant ownership shares to workers: “Imagine how different our economy and our country would be if workers owned a slice of every company in America.” Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/esops.

  5. Money, Fashion, and the Aesthetics of Class Politics

    APR 2

    Money, Fashion, and the Aesthetics of Class Politics

    When I met Véronique Hyland, author of the bestselling book Dress Code and ELLE’s fashion features director, about how fashion intersects with politics, gender, and class (and the person who coined the term ‘millennial pink’!), I wanted to talk to her about: 👊🏼 The role of aesthetics in labor movement-building and persuasion campaigns, from tradwife influencers to union leaders 🎽 Why one-size-fits-all flammable crop top brand Brandy Melville also sells literature about libertarian economic policy 💰 What current income and consumption trends—like that almost 50% of all consumption is driven by the top 10% of earners—might portend for fashion trends like “underconsumption” 🥂 And finally, how the time-honored fascination with mimicking “upper class” dress reveals the underlying assumption that the only way to have (or look like you have) a nice life, is to be rich Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/fashion.

    Why Economist Kathryn Edwards is Optimistic About America’s Future

    2025’s financial news cycle feels like a broken wind-up doll, where recession indicators, unemployment numbers, inflation data, and tax cuts are #JustTheTip of an unsettling iceberg. So, this week, we’re joined by economist Kathryn Edwards (aka “Keds Economist”), and I got to ask her about: 🧠 The no-brainer policy with a huge ROI that nobody’s talking about  ✂️ The fundamental flaw with using tax policy (read: tax cuts) to stimulate growth 🇺🇸 Her honest POV on America’s economic outlook and “recession-proofing” a household 👊🏼 The limits of “empowerment” rhetoric, which often tries to use cultural or social nudging to solve problems that simply require money Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/economic-future.

  7. Is This Simple Idea the Solution for America's Wealth Inequality?

    MAR 19

    Is This Simple Idea the Solution for America's Wealth Inequality?

    It’s easy to point out that wealth inequality in America is a problem. It’s much harder to identify realistic fixes. But what if there were a simple, elegant solution? In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Matt Bruenig, a former National Labor Relations Board lawyer and policy expert who’s one of the brightest minds in this space. This conversation will get you thinking differently (and bigger) about money, the economy, and wealth—and why a solidarity economy is stronger for everyone.

    On "Return to Office" & Daycare as Class Issues, the Role of Profit, and Being "Entitled"

    It’s hard to believe, but somehow it’s already time for another Rich Girl Roundup about our last three deep dives: The Real Cost of Being a Working Parent, to which Rich Dad Nation had a decidedly mixed response How Home Insurance and Climate Change are Upending the Real Estate Market, which introduced some good questions about the role of everything from technology to sabotage in effecting change The Truth About “Government Waste,” Privatizing Public Goods, & Turning Citizens into Customers, which generated an absolute treasure trove of stories from government workers We’ll give y’all one guess which generated the lion’s share of emails—this batch of feedback had a surprising amount of tea, so don’t miss it. (00:00) Introduction (01:44) General feedback we've heard recently (08:00) Feedback on the "Working Parents/Childcare" episode (34:45) The "Disappointed Dads" feedback (47:22) Return to office and entitlement (54:39) Feedback on the "Home Insurance & Climate Change" episode (01:08:20) Connecting our "Climate Change" and "Privatization" episodes (01:17:03) Feedback on the "Privatization" episode Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/rto-daycare.
