- Politics
In the fourth episode of the 2020 Election season, I interview Dr. Brad De Long, Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. He talks about his wonderful teachers and mentors, and why he ultimately chose to go into economics instead of history. I ask him about his time in the Clinton Administration, and why he is now urging Liberals to align with – or become – Leftists. Describing the US as “increasingly approaching failed-state status,” Dr. De Long offers several brilliant solutions for how to move forward as a nation – including court-packing. Don’t miss this incredible conversation!
