In this episode we are joined by Tony Gill, a professor of politics at the University of Washington and scholar on the political economy of religion. Tony tells us about his recent paper defending the institution of gifting from claims by dismal scientists that giving gifts is wasteful and leads to dead weight loss and should be replaced by giving away money or gift cards. He also tells us about his recent institutional analysis of religion and how religions often supply certain public goods much better than the state can.
