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.
