Show Notes
Today’s Talmud page, Nedarim 50, raises a question many academics and recovering academics will find pressing: must scholars always be poor? Mark Oppenheimer, the Corduroy Rav himself, joins us to discuss the prevalent beliefs in academia that a wealthy professor is somehow a sell-out, and opine about why so many smart people are anxious about money. Does wealth corrupt your ability to observe humanity fairly and accurately? Listen and find out.
