Manage episode 436308871 series 1530184
Those who listen to "The Glenn Show" will know that Professor Glenn Loury has published an extraordinary autobiography. Late Admissions: Confessions of a Black Conservative breathes the spirit of candor, intellectual openness, and personal humility that has characterized his life and work.
Professor Loury is a Paulson Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, which hails his new book as “a shockingly frank memoir from a prize-winning economist, reflecting on his remarkable personal odyssey and his changing positions on identity, race, and belief.” In the words of Professor Loury’s life-long friend John McWhorter, it is also a “page-turner.”
ACTA President Michael Poliakoff and ACTA board member Paul Levy sat down with Professor Loury for a conversation about his illuminating new book. The three spoke about race, conservatism, and the remarkable intellectual journey that the author and scholar has taken over the course of his life and career, in all its complexity, human fallibility, courage, and perseverance.
