Stephen Strosko, thank you for all you've done over the last nine years to contribute to our mission and vision! While we'll miss your entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to innovate, we're grateful for your impact and excited to cheer you on in your next chapter.?
AI Engineer at the Mercatus Center - Leading and Developing AI Projects, Coalition Building around Solutions
After nearly nine years, my time at the Mercatus Center is coming to an end. These years have been both a blessing and an adventure, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity Mercatus gave me right out of college. Even more than that, I’m deeply thankful for the runway the organization provided me to be entrepreneurial and create value—a rare and special experience that I know will be hard to replicate. The memories I’ve made at Mercatus will last a lifetime, and that thought brings me great joy. The professional milestones have been countless: presenting on Generative AI at the AWS DC Summit, advising federal agencies and international governments, launching a student program focused on the intersection of technology and the social sciences, and standing up the best data shop and team in the liberty network, just to name a few. The lessons from failure are just as vivid: struggling through seemingly insurmountable coding challenges or accidentally racking up cloud spend while learning the hard way that not all "clouds" bring rain. And, of course, the memories with friends have been priceless—like playing softball on the National Mall or connecting with coworkers over happy hours. While I leave with a heavy heart, it is in part heavy because it is filled with these memories. And as I look ahead to new challenges, I do so with immense gratitude for these memories, lessons, and friendships that will always be a part of my story.

On the latest episode of The Marginal Revolution Podcast, Alex Tabarrok and Tyler Cowen discuss tontines—fascinating financial instruments where the last surviving member inherits all. They explore why these vanished despite their economic logic, leading to bigger questions: - Why aren't annuity markets more robust? - Why do people prefer life insurance when economic theory suggests annuities make more sense?
