All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions · Rerun: Ep68 “Is It Better to Overestimate or Underestimate Your Enemies?” with H.R. McMaster · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

And everybody's strategically releasing information and trying to manipulate the reporting on both sides.

For example, if you think about the conflict in the Middle East right now, there's a lot of information war that's going on as much as there is an actual war going on

And so the question indeed is, to what extent is the intelligence community sensitive to these information wars?

And are they going to fall for the things that really were propaganda wars rather than actual information?

And how do you tell the two apart?

All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions · Ep78 “What’s Wrong With Taxing Billionaires More?” with Joshua Rauh · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

Welcome to the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania.

I'm Jules Van Binsbergen, Director of the Institute and a finance professor at the Wharton School.

Now, Jonathan, you say something uniquely Californian, but let's be clear.

The principles that we're going to be discussing today and potentially the motivation where this tax comes from, I think is of all states, all countries, and all ages.

But yes, indeed, this particular proposal of a wealth tax that is currently being considered is indeed taking place in California and not yet in other states.

Although, you know, given the current

mayor of New York, I'm actually worried that it may come to the East Coast as well.

Yeah, that's a very good question, Jonathan.

And this show is called All Else Equal.

And I think that is exactly what we're going to be talking about today, which is the question of what are the other side effects of taxing billionaires?

And in the end, are we even achieving the goal that we have stated?

Because there are obviously many different goals that we can discuss.

The first

Goal could be we just want to increase government revenue.

But obviously, a much bigger goal would be we would like to have a fairer society or some other social objective that we have in mind.
