Unlocking Economic Potential podcast: Exploring the World of Gig Work with Liya Palagashvili

This week’s episode features a range of topics, including rebuilding after the Baltimore bridge collapse, legal challenges to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new climate disclosure rule, and how China maintains an advantage by identifying as a developing country. We also have an interview with Liya Palagashvili from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, where we discuss job trends, the distinction between full-time and part-time work, contract and gig work, California’s Assembly Bill 5 experiment, recent actions from the Department of Labor, and the importance of flexible benefits for all workers.

In previous episodes, we have explored topics such as paying for organs, defending election integrity, free markets and the common good, being politically homeless, federal tech, federalism, understanding AI, public health, and economic freedom culture.

Join us next week for our episode featuring guest Brad Polumbo from Based Politics and the Damage Control podcast.
