EconTalk: George Will on America, Politics, and Baseball

The conversation begins with Will discussing his career and how someone with a Ph.D. from Princeton got involved in politics and then writing. Will then discusses the current political environment and how little some things have changed in politics. Other topics include the future of journalism and Will’s predictions for how the Chicago Cubs will fare this season (4th place).
