Episode description as stored

Throughout his career, Paul Romer has enjoyed sampling and sifting through an ever-growing body of knowledge. He sometimes jokingly refers to himself as a random idea generator, relying on others to filter out the bad ones so his contributions are good. Not a bad strategy, as it turns out, for starting a successful business and winning a Nobel Prize. Just before accepting that Prize, he joined Tyler for a conversation spanning one filtered set of those ideas, including the best policies for growth and innovation, his new thinking on the trilemma facing migration, how to rework higher education, general-purpose technologies, unlocking the power of reading for all kids, fixes for the English language, what economics misses about the 'inside of the head,' whether he's a Jane Jacobs or Gouverneur Morris type, what Kanban taught him about management, his recent sampling of Pierce's semiotics, Clarence White vs. Gram Parsons, his favorite Hot Tuna song, and more.
