Episode notes

There are cultural norms here that are not the same as in america. You're much more likely to get stabbed in jerusalem than you arein new york city. The real problem right now is that israel doesn't have a negotiating partner who thinks that isIsrael has a right to exist. And personally, i'd like to see is Israel try a different kind of move toward normalcy.

In this special crossover special with EconTalk, Tyler interviews Russ Roberts about his new life in Israel as president of Shalem College. They discuss why there are so few new universities, managing teams in the face of linguistic and cultural barriers, how Israeli society could adapt to the loss of universal military service, why Israeli TV is so good, what American Jews don’t understand about life in Israel, what his next leadership challenge will be, and much more.
