Show Notes
First: American universities minted hundreds of thousands of savvy professionals in the latter half of the 20th century. We explore how those educated, creative thinkers may have - inadvertently - caused America’s decades-long decline.
Next: We talk with Harvard University professor Elizabeth Hinton about whether free education for people in prison makes sense.
Then: Do you think you’re smart? Probably. But are you rational? There’s a difference between the two, and it matters more than you think.
