Work is changing, and the forces shaping it have never been more more complex.

In The Economics of Work, Ben Zweig sits down with leading economists, researchers, and thinkers to explore the ideas that define how we work, why we work, and what the future of work will look like. Each conversation goes beyond the headlines, diving into the economic principles and philosophical questions that underlie the decisions shaping businesses and careers around the world.

Whether you're running an organization, building one, or simply trying to make sense of the economy you operate in, this is a podcast for leaders who want to think more clearly about the forces that matter most.

Timeless ideas. Urgent questions. Real insight.

    Al Roth - Moral Economics and Repugnant Transactions
    2026/05/21

    What makes a transaction repugnant? And why does society allow some controversial markets to flourish while banning others that seem far less harmful?

    In this episode, Ben sits down with Al Roth, Nobel laureate and professor of economics at Stanford, to explore the hidden moral architecture beneath the markets we take for granted, and the ones we don't allow at all. Drawing on his new book Moral Economics, Al makes the case that good policy can't be built on moral intuition alone.

    Topics covered:

    • What "repugnant" actually means in relation to transactions
    • Surrogacy, gene editing, and AI companions: where the line between protection and paternalism blurs
    • The coercion vs. exploitation distinction: is banning a market for poor people's benefit sometimes just denying them an opportunity?
    • How public opinion and legislation diverge
    • Why labor markets are fundamentally different from commodity markets
    • How the internet (and now AI) has flooded job markets with applications and destroyed the information value of applying
    • What the economics job market's "signaling" system can teach LinkedIn, dating apps, and corporate hiring alike

    Al Roth is a Professor of Economics at Stanford University and a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. He is the author of Who Gets What — and Why and Moral Economics, and is one of the world's leading researchers in market design and matching theory.

  • David Autor - How Technology Affects Work

    David Autor - How Technology Affects Work
    2026/05/14

    In this episode, Ben sits down with David Autor, professor of economics at MIT, to explore how technology transforms work at every level from individual tasks to entire industries.

    Topics covered:

    • Why transformative technologies require organizational reinvention, not just adoption
    • The "expertise framework": how the same automation can be a force multiplier for one worker and a threat to another, depending on where their specialized skills sit
    • Occupational licensing as a double-edged sword: consumer protection vs. a barrier to adaptation
    • Whether AI will complement high-skilled workers, substitute for low-skilled ones, or eventually do both, and what the evidence actually shows so far
    • The skills that will remain valuable
    • Why we are dangerously under-invested in helping workers transition

    David Autor is Ford Professor of Economics at MIT and co-director of the MIT Work of the Future task force. He is among the most cited economists in the world on the topics of labor markets, inequality, and technological change.
