MOVING FORWARD: Flat Tax, FTC’s Ban on Non-Compete Agreements, Economics in Education, and Civilian Nuclear Energy

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Miranda Spindt, Jeremiah Ludwig, Sofia Hamilton, and Benjamin Khoshbin.

Wisconsin is considering a flat tax proposal and it's generating a fair amount of controversy. Miranda Spindt says if the flat tax is paired with the right policies, it could result in a tax system that benefits everyone.

The Federal Trade Commission's plan to ban non-compete agreements may not be as helpful to workers as some think. Jeremiah Ludwig explains how such a policy could keep pizza delivery guys shuttling pies for life.

School districts are considering a variety of ways to recruit and keep good teachers. Sofia Hamilton says these districts need a lesson on economics if they wish to avoid unintended consequences.

Civilian nuclear energy is a growing possibility in the quest for clean, affordable energy. Benjamin Khoshbin lays out how the U.S. can use nuclear energy exports to deter Russia and China.
