Hey people and mostly admired listeners, I woke up this morning to the fantastic news

that Claudia Golden had won the Nobel Prize in economics.

I had the honor of having Claudia as a guest on this show back in 2021 and we thought we'd

be published that episode as a bonus so you could hear about her groundbreaking work

on women in the labor market.

I hope you enjoy my interview with Claudia and we back with a brand new episode of People

and Mostly Admire on Friday.

My guest today is Harvard University economist Claudia Golden.

She spent almost 50 years researching the experience of women in the labor market and she smashed

through more than her own fair share of barriers along the way.

If you had ideas, if you were interested, if you could take the heat and there was a lot

of heat, then you were a member of the inner group.

Welcome to People I Mostly Admire with Steve Levitt.

Claudia's pulled this research together into a book entitled Career and Family, Women's

Century Long Journey Towards Equity.

I've had so many questions for and the only thing I have to be on the lookout for is that

sometimes people who study a topic for 50 years, they forget how little everyone else

knows about the subject.

I've got to make sure our conversation stays understandable for late people.

Claudia, it's so nice to talk.

It has been ages since we've seen each other so you are probably the world's leading expert

on the experience of women in the US labor market.
