  • Our guest today is Adam Ozmek.

  • Adam is chief economist at Economic Innovation Group and the co-author of a new report titled Exceptional by Design,

  • How to Fix High-Skilled Immigration to Maximize American Interest.

  • Adam joins us today to discuss his report as well as to help us make sense of the ongoing trade war.

  • Adam, welcome back to the podcast.

  • Thanks for having me.

  • I was glad to be here.

  • Well, you are a return guest,

  • but you are actually here for the first time in the official Mercatus podcast studio.

  • So we record macro musings here.

  • Tyler Cowen sits where we're sitting now and does conversations with Tyler.

  • And I bring this all up

  • because all of us go way back to the glory days of blogging surrounding the Great Recession.

  • I believe I started blogging late 2007.

  • I had an obnoxious op-ed that got rejected by the Wall Street Journal,

  • so I said, what the heck, I'll blog it.

  • Terrible time for humanity, great time for blogging if you love macro.

  • And you and Carl Smith had your very prominent blog, Modeled Behavior.

  • In fact, that's still your handle on Twitter, right?

  • Yep, still my handle.
