Are We Replicating the Old Giants?
Tyler Cowan: Do you ever wish you were in sconce an academic life with tenure? Like really wish it. I'm the first in my family to have any university degree at all, so the idea of becoming a faculty member never crossed my mind until I found myself working within academia. Would I have been able to write the first biography of René Girard? If I had been, I don't think it'd be something that necessarily would have been encouraged in an academic atmosphere. It was something I could do because I was an outsider to some extent.
