单集简介 ...

Economist and social critic Glenn Loury talks about his memoir, Late Admissions, with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. In a wide-ranging and blunt conversation, Loury discusses his childhood, his at-times brilliant academic work, his roller-coaster ideological journey, and his personal flaws as a drug addict and imperfect husband. This is a rich conversation about academic life, race in America, and the challenges of self-control.

  • We'd love to hear from you.

  • Today is April 30, 2024, and my guest is economist and author Glenn Lowry.

  • His substack is simply Glenn Lowry.

  • This is Glenn's second appearance on Econ Talk.

  • He was here in July of 2020 talking about race and inequality.

  • Our topic for today is his memoir, late admissions confessions of a black conservative.

  • Glenn, welcome back to Econ Talk.

  • Thanks, Russ.

  • It's very good to be with you.

  • I want to let parents listening with children know that today's conversation may include a number of topics inappropriate for children.

  • You may wish to listen before sharing.

  • This is an incredible book.

  • As listeners know, I'm very busy.

  • I'm not sure listeners know that I try to read every page of every book I discuss here on econtalk.

  • So when I'm asked to consider a book of 448 pages, which is the length of late admissions, I usually just say no right away.
