I'm an economist by training. I don't really work as an economist. I only worked briefly as an economist.

I have always been very concerned that Darwinism gave the basic okay to terrible racism and to the idea of murder based upon race.

I agree that there are some bad apples on Wall Street. I spent about ten years exposing corporate and financial fraud for 'Barron's' magazine and I found a lot to write about.

I've never liked the idea of just having an office in a college somewhere and teaching classes and going to the library and doing research all day. I've never wanted that. The glamorous life is the life that appeals to me.

I think it's criminal how little people in the military are paid. These are people out risking their lives, taken away from their families for long periods of time. I think they should be paid dramatically more than they're paid.

What's a good investment? Go home from work early and spend the afternoon throwing a ball around with your son.

Politics is a thankless occupation; I have no interest in it at all.
