You're listening to a podcast from blogging Heads TV.

Hi, I'm Robert Wright.

I run a non-zero foundation, which produces the Glenn Show and all other shows on blogging Heads TV and Meaning of Life TV.

We host a variety of voices, some of them highly unorthodox, and we encourage dialogue that is sharp but civil.

We think fostering constructive conversation is especially important now that America, even the world is looking kind of

fragile. If you agree that our mission is important I hope you'll consider helping

a shoulder the cost. You can do that by becoming one of our cherished patrons at

Patreon.com slash non-zero foundation. That's

N-O-N-Z-E-R-O-U-N-D-I-O-N-U-N-D-A-T-I-O-N.

Thanks.

We need your help and we deeply appreciate it.

I think we're live. All right, welcome everyone and welcome to a special event at the Salem Center for Policy,

part of the celebrations around Free Speech Week.

We're delighted to have with us today Glenn Lowry.

Glenn is the Merton P Stoltz Professor of Social Science and Economics at Brown University.

Glenn has done extensive work in microeconomic theory, industrial organization, natural resource economics, and

economics are race and inequality.

Go ahead welcome to policy at McCombs.

That's what we call us.

Thank you.
