Alison DennisonGUEST
Yeah.
Alison DennisonGUEST
Played the role of Angus Deaton's neighbour.
Alison DennisonGUEST
Yes.
Alison DennisonGUEST
In My Feet in the Grave.
HannahHOST
Science says money stops making you happy after $75,000.
HannahHOST
That came from a very influential 2010 study by Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton.
HannahHOST
There's an important distinction.
HannahHOST
They separated people's evaluation of their lives from their day-to-day emotional well-being.
Catherine RyanHOST
We get the sense of the Rust Belt and what it has left behind in terms of loss of purpose.
Catherine RyanHOST
You also cite the work of Angus Deaton et al., On other frightening statistics, the fact that we had a generation coming through that were not going to live longer than their parents, and the economic and physical health of a generation that is suffering.
Catherine RyanHOST
So this was increasingly kind of building in your mind as well.
John RonsonGUEST
Yes, absolutely.
RobPANELIST
No, that was a later one.
RobPANELIST
That also was Angus Deaton.
RobPANELIST

should have probably brought that back with Angus Deaton because I think he was becoming Victor, wasn't he? Oh,
Ciaran Urry-TuttiettHOST
God, yes.
Louise SheinerGUEST
And so this is really a downside of the scenario that even though AI is lifting the economy, there are people who are basically left behind.
Michael KleinHOST
So this is a little bit like the deaths of despair that Angus Deaton wrote about in the 2010s and these terrible effects of the displacement of workers, right?
Louise SheinerGUEST
Exactly.
Louise SheinerGUEST
So you can think of this, that was kind of thinking about the China shock that hauled out the manufacturing base.
Vijay MaroliaGUEST
That's my experience.
Chuck JaffeHOST
The data comes from Sir Angus Deaton, Nobel Prize-winning economist, professor at Princeton University, who updated all of his studies on poverty before he wrote his latest book, which he discussed with me on Money Life.
Chuck JaffeHOST
It may have been at the end of twenty twenty-four, but his data is the most recent available that looks at the subject that broadly.
Chuck JaffeHOST
And again, the point of it was that the primary determinant of whether you will be above the poverty line, it's not necessarily saying that your job always puts you there, is a college diploma.
Jason DuncanHOST
And there's real research behind this, by the way.
Jason DuncanHOST
Back in 2010, Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton found that emotional well-being rose with income up to about $75,000 a year, and then it flattened out.
Jason DuncanHOST
And you've probably heard that number quoted in just about every TED Talk and every conference since then.
Jason DuncanHOST
But then 11 years later, Matthew Killingsworth at Wharton ran the whole thing again in a different way.
Emma GredeHOST
Mm-hmm
Arthur BrooksGUEST
... actually one psychologist and, and, and, and one economist at Princeton, Angus Deaton and, and Daniel Kahneman.
Arthur BrooksGUEST
They're these-
Emma GredeHOST
Do you know them?
Nicholas EberstadtGUEST
And we can't forget about all of the deaths of despair.
Archon FungHOST
Also, great, great work by Angus Deaton and Anne Case.
Nicholas EberstadtGUEST
Yeah.
Nicholas EberstadtGUEST
By the way, in both cases, both with this men without work and with the deaths of despair, these were problems that had been building for decades, really for decades, before the academy or the policy community or the government noticed this.
