Help for the poor and bad incentives
Over Christmas I learned I have a relative who is on food stamps and Medicaid. She is a single mother who could work part-time, but if she did she would lose her food stamps and Medicaid. So when the kids are at school she stays home and watches TV instead of working.

Graduate students should read more books...

If I taught a grad course in finance, I would definitely assign Neil Ferguson's "The Ascent Of Money."
