Ep 14: Noah Smith on American growth, partisanship and veganism

I talked to the very popular Noah Smith on a variety of topics. We talked about

• Is America too insular?
• Indian cultural exports to the US
• Is economic growth zero-sum at the country level?
• Where does he disagree with @jdcmedlock the most?
• What are the deep causes of partisanship in America?
• The moral coordination problem of going vegan
• The political economy of solving NIMBYism
• “America's national pastime is avoiding other Americans”

Do give a listen to this!
