Episode description

I’ve long followed Dr. Loury’s career since I read a 2002 profile about his life in First Things. To say it’s been interesting is understating the case. For those who are more curious, I highly recommend the Glenn Show, which has been running in various forms since 2008.

On this podcast we discuss:

  • The value of economics as a predictive discipline

  • Classical papers and texts in economics

  • The abolition of the GRE

  • The fall of the American academy

  • China and globalization

  • Dr. Ibram X. Kendi

John von Neumann came up a few times. Once in relation to Dr. Kendi.
