On today’s show, we have three big economic ideas for you to consider – ideas that could improve the economy and make us more efficient.

First, what if we banned left turns? Then, what if we gave every newborn baby… a trust fund? Finally, what if we abolished U.S. congressional districts entirely?

That’s all for today’s show.

The show is hosted by Sarah Gonzalez. It is produced by Willa Rubin and Emma Peaslee, with assistance from Sam Yellowhorse Kesler. It is edited by Dave Blanchard and curated by Robert Rodriguez. Sierra Juarez fact-checks. Alex Goldmark is the executive producer of Planet Money.
