we also welcome back casey mulligan, professor of economics at the university of chicago and author of "the redistribution recession." casey mulligan, i have seen estimates that say we are 15 million private sector jobs short of where we ought to be under a normal growth economy. why is this? why are we so far from full employment? >> well, there are, of course, a lot of factors but the biggest ones would be really the massive expansions of safety net programs that have happened in the last four years. and they've obliterated incentives for individuals to work and businesses to hire. and they penalize success and penalizing success is a way to put people out of work, not a way to put them back to work. >> casey, let's give me an example before i get to bob reich. give me an example of the safety net program sthat that is a disincentive to work. >> the food stamp program has been expanded greatly. you can now -- now you can get that when you're out of work. they don't really check whether you're genuinely poor. you're out of work, your income's low for a little while. you can be on food

sian beilock is a psychology professor at the university of chicago.her book "choke" gives insights on how stress affects us. >> well, there's actually a simple technique for coping with the stress -- it's writing. my research found that students who write about their feelings of anxiety or stress for just 10 minutes before their exam actually perform better on tests. it has to do with the prefrontal cortex. that's the area your brain that sits right above your eyes. your working memory is housed there. you can think of it as a mental scratch pad that helps you work through complex problems. when worries creep in, your working memory becomes overloaded, and that can cause you to cave in to the pressure. but when you write about your feelings, you're giving yourself an opportunity to express those worries. this actually frees up space in your head. writing can also give you insights into what specifically is stressing you out. so the next time you have a big test, take a few minutes. write about your feelings. it should make all the difference. >> i gue

moore, who's obviously well-funded, who started an institute at a prestigious place like the university of chicago to head up the parade, because i think someone needs to head up the parade. how you, you know, disarm the kinds of intensity about land we see in kashmir between the pakistanis and the indians- how do we disarm that? you know, we saw what happened in the serbian area- these are the tensions- and land is part of it; you know, land is part of it. but as we'll see when we look at the middle east closer, there's also that religious element, and to have really sat down, as you'll see in the next class, and talk with on-the-street muslims about the threat of the western secular values- patterns of action- upon the islamic way of life, you can't blame them for the anger that they feel; it's truly a threat. we've heard in the media that the united states has been called the great satan or something along that line, but in many ways, to their way of thinking, it is. so the challenges are immense, and all we can say, as we move through this first class on the ethical dimension, as we so often d

casey mulligan is a economics professor at the university of chicago and author of the book, the redistributionss. he joins me now. very interesting. so give me your solution here. you think if we just let gas stations charge whatever the market would bear we wouldn't have a run but wouldn't have a lot of cars on side of the road empty, no? >> that's exactly right. you know obviously after you have a disaster it takes extraordinary efforts to get the necessities to people who need them and the market does that by having extra ordinary prices. instead, what these no-no economics government officials have done, christie or mr. have loan in suffolk county, they came out immediately saying we won't let you charge high prices. basically you're telling them we will not let you get reward for extraordinary efforts. so guess what? they didn't do extraordinary efforts to get people what they need. melissa: you think there would be more supply in the area? somebody would truck it from further away? not only the rich to have gas.

i am reminded of the great 50 years success in the big ten and the university of chicago, the committeeoperation over 50 years as big a public research universities and university of chicago have cleverly did significantly on infrastructure, technology, course sharing over 250 courses i think are now being shared between and among them. we simply have to do a lot more collaborative interaction with each other to be able to increase the scale so necessary for the investment if we are going to have those breakthrough research opportunities that we have seen in the past. we can't do this alone individually coming and we can't do it without each of us trying to be distinctive and our strengths and competitive advantage. >> fees' competitive issues have a cultural character. i've always thought it was amusing devotee contrast stanford with berkeley, stanford is far and away the most public institution because of course we have to include the tax benefits they receive not only for the charitable contributions to earnings on their endowment that dwarf the public support of berkeley so in a sen
