I submitted a request to my local library asking them to get this book - they refused. I found the "interview" to be very disappointing and couldn't tolerate more than dipping into it here and there. Bryan would do well to bear in mind that a good interviewer never misses an opportunity to shut up.
An interesting analysis of the Rittenhouse case comes from the youtube channel called Legal Eagle, a.k.a. Devin James Stone, a lawyer who (I think?) represents plaintiffs in tort and contract cases.
(Bonus question: Who was the first-ever director of the United States mint, in the 1790s when it was created.)
I wrote that out before I heard you mention Tyler in the video. It does sound like Tyler to be less into settling questions vs continuing conversations. However, I don't think people are going to be pointing to "The Problem of Political Authority" as actually settling the question (which is partly a matter of it being more normative than empirical).
Wow! (Looking at "my readers’ missing myths"). Thank you Bryan. Looking forward to listening to this.

Is this available for download as a podcast anywhere?

I was looking for a book to read. Thanks!
Your colleague Tyler Cowen just blogged about evidence for the gender pay gap resulting from employer preferences rather than productivity:

Can't wait to dive in. Afterward, I'll (likely, depending) get the book.
