Hello everyone and welcome back to Conversations with Tyler today.
I'm sitting at Harvard Law School talking with Cass Sunstein Cass is the most widely cited legal scholar of all time among his other achievements Congratulations for that this year.
He has I believe five maybe more books out some of them He's been working on for a long time,
so it's a little misleading But he has on liberalism and defense of freedom which
if anything will be our focus a new book on manipulation a book called imperfect oracle on the strengths and limits of AI,
a co-authored book Algorithmic Harm, and also Climate Justice.
Have I left anything out?
I really hope that's the entire list.
And in February, there's one coming on Separation of Powers.
Cass Sunstein, welcome.
A pleasure and an honor to be here.
Now, your new book on liberalism is primarily a defense of the liberal concept,
but if someone asks you, what's the most likely scenario for liberalism being self-undermining?
What's your worry?
Low probability, the likelihood is that we'll be undermined by anti-liberal and illiberal forces,
