It was a fantastic pleasure to welcome Bryan Caplan back for a third time on the podcast! His most recent book is Don't Be a Feminist: Essays on Genuine Justice. He explains why he thinks: - Feminists are mostly wrong, - We shouldn’t overtax our centi-billionaires, - Decolonization should have emphasized human rights over democracy, - Eastern Europe shows that we could accept millions of refugees.

  • OK, today I have the great honor for the third time of interviewing Brian Kaplan again.

  • Brian, thanks so much for coming on the podcast.

  • I've got the great honor of being interviewed by you, Dwarkash.

  • You're one of my favorite people in the world.

  • Yeah, it's a greater pleasure every time, for me at least.

  • So let's talk about your book, Don't Be a Feminist.

  • Is there any margin of representation of women in like leadership roles at which you think there should be introduced bias to make sure more women get in,

  • even if the original ratio is not because of bias?

  • No, I believe in meritocracy.

  • I think it is a good system.

  • It is one that almost everyone sees the attitude of appeal of and it works.

  • So just looking at a group and saying we need to get more members of group X is just the wrong way to be approaching it.

  • Rather,

  • you need to be focusing on Let's try to figure out the best way of getting the top quality people here.

  • But if there's a just an astounding ratio of men and certain positions,

  • could that potentially have an impact on the company's ability to do good business that the like the company would just care about increasing the ratio for that reason alone?

  • Right.

  • I mean, one can imagine that.

  • I mean, I think in our culture, it really goes the other way.

  • And I think that people are more likely to be trying to get rid of men.
