I wrote about @hermwerf.bsky.social 's excellent ASR article last year on education expansion and intergenerational mobility. Hope you find it useful! asocial.substack.com/p/inequality...

Thanks for this—I loved the article when i read it this summer & loved being reminded of what it says by your post (I have the memory of a goldfish these days) I‘ll admit to being baffled by what you say abt the argument’s causal status. What does it mean to describe “a process” w/o causal claims??

The US could soon provide a chance to see what happens under educational contraction. Yay, us. Good reason to think it will strengthen Origin-Destination and Origin-Education associations and, more speculatively, have zero or even slightly negative effect on ED association. @hermwerf.bsky.social

Aww I'm totally honored and flattered. 🙏 Thanks so much Tom! Really appreciated. And I am happy you liked it. There may be a follow up in the making, looking at various other policies and politics. Not sure if the paper will be called "The Irrelevance of Politics" but who knows.
