Andrew Wilford (@PolicyWilford) is a Young Voices Advocate and policy analyst for the National Taxpayers Union who spends his days thinking about how to make the American economy better. This past week, he wrote a great piece for The Federalist on how cities are resorting to corporate welfare to attract the second Amazon headquarters.

On this episode, we talk about his background - specifically, how he became interested in policy research - as well as the different ways that crony capitalism and corporate welfare manifest themselves, often right in front of our eyes.
