Hello everybody, this is Glendlauri.

You've tuned into the Glend Show.

We're very happy that you have done so.

I teach at Brown University where I'm a professor of economics and I'm also John Paulson

Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

The Manhattan Institute sponsors the Glend Show.

Every other week, my conversation partner here is John McWater of Columbia University

in the New York Times.

He's here with us this week and we're happy to welcome Tyler Austin Harper, who is a literary

scholar and assistant professor of environmental studies at Bates College, to join us in conversation

this today.

So welcome, Tyler, welcome, John.

Thanks for being here.

You're welcome.
