Episode notes

David Perry: A great deal a great many of Christians in this country kind of look at politics like this. He says that identity based reasoning for actual knowledge, temperance, wisdom, expertise, etc. is doing a real disservice to the body politic. Perry asks David why are you a poet while also being a lawyer and what's the connection between practicing poetry and teaching law.

This week David and Curtis are joined by David Skeel, one of the world’s leading experts on bankruptcy law and the Chairman of the Financial Oversight & Management Board for Puerto Rico, which was responsible for helping the territory restructure and cut its public debt by 80%. David brings a unique perspective as both a legal scholar and follower of Christ, particularly around how our understanding of debt can and should image Biblical values while not being strictly prescribed by Biblical law.
