In this episode, we speak with David Brady from the University of California, Riverside’s School of Public Policy , and author of Rich Democracies, Poor People: How Politics Explain Poverty (Oxford University Press).  He discusses the comparative study of policy and poverty, and the value of an international perspective in the study of poverty (29:50).  We also discuss looking dumb when getting interviewed by the real media (1:00) and Roy Moore’s loss in the Alabama election and the Al Franken resignation (4:15).

David Brady is Professor in the School of Public Policy and Director of the Blum Initiative on Global and Regional Poverty at UCR. He teaches classes in quantitative methods, poverty, inequality, and social policy. He investigates a variety of research questions related to poverty/inequality, comparative political economy, social policy, politics, health/healthcare, globalization/development, and work/labor.
