What we misunderstand about gun violence : The Indicator from Planet Money
The U.S. is recognized globally for its gun violence issue, with guns being the primary weapons in most homicides. Conventional wisdom attributes gun violence to calculated crimes or severe economic conditions. However, economist Jens Ludwig argues that this perspective is flawed. On the podcast, he discusses how misunderstandings about the roots of gun violence can mislead solutions and highlights insights from behavioral economics that could help tackle the problem. His research is documented in his new book, “Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence.”
