Join the discussion about "The Beauty Premium"... Do better looking people do better in life?
May 27, 2008, 08:28 AM
There's a premium on beauty. And it's not just social, it's economic. Some people can earn more because they have better teeth. Others earn more because they are taller. What's your experience? Join the discussion by clicking "get in the mix", by emailing mytake@thetakeaway.org, or by calling our SpinVox line at 1-877-8-MY-TAKE. And tune in Tuesday morning for Freakonomics author Stephen Dubner's assessment.
The show is a co-production of WNYC Radio and Public Radio International,
in collaboration with The BBC World Service, New York Times Radio and WGBH Boston.
