Today's guest is Brian Kaplan.

Brian is an economist at George Mason University, a research fellow at the Mercatus Center,

and a New York Times best-selling author. His books include The Myth of the Rational Voter,

which was voted Best Political Book of the Year by the New York Times,

selfish reasons to have more kids, the case against education, and open borders.

Brian also blogs for econ log, which I read regularly and highly recommend.

He's been published in the New York Times, The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Time

Magazine, Newsweek, The Atlantic, The American Economic Review, and many more.

He's also appeared on ABC, BBC, Fox News, MSNBC, and C-SP.

This episode focuses on his argument for open borders, which I find very compelling. Before you dismiss it as

crazy, utopian, or naive, just listen to Brian's full account of it. And read the book. Whether or not

I agree with his conclusions, Brian is one of the most careful thinkers I've had the pleasure of

speaking with. so he's

always worth listening to.
