Jesse Shulman

Jesse Shulman is a senior concentrating in Social Studies. His interests focus on inequality in America. He is an award-winning fiction writer and filmmaker, a founding member of the intercollegiate Change-Magazine, a director of the Digital Literacy Project, and a Crimson editor. Inspired by the Bay Area rationalist community's efforts in "Effective Altruism" through projects such as rationality.org and intelligence.org, Jesse brings awareness to such initiatives as an organizer and fellow of Harvard Effective Altruism. Currently, he leads Harvard Lifehack and directs its Franklin Fellowship.

Jesse’s project seeks to create a quantitative model of American billionaires to predict the effect of traits such as ethno-religious makeup and self-made v. inherited wealth, age, industry, etc., on political beliefs as measured through the proxy of political contributions. Which characteristics of the extremely wealthy predict their partisan leanings?
