  Hey, everyone, this is Jeff, one of the producers of conversations with Tyler.

  In light of today's Nobel announcement, we're re releasing Tyler's conversation with Claudia golden, who just won for, quote, advancing our understanding of women's labor market outcomes.

• 00:15

  When I was reviewing this episode, which aired on October 6, 2021, originally, one of the things that jumped out to me is that at one point, Claudia says that every one of Tyler's questions is like a PhD dissertation topic.

  And so it's a really great opportunity to review her work, what she was working on, how she thinks about things, including what she won the Nobel for, but also things like whether a cosine solution existed to prevent the Civil War, why she's skeptical about happiness research, what she learns by reading the New York Times wedding announcement page over time, and much, much more.

  Hello, everyone, and welcome back to conversations with Tyler.

  Today I'm chatting with Claudia Goldin, who is, quite simply one of the leading economists.

  She is professor of economics at Harvard University, has made major contributions to economic history, the theory of income inequality, economics of education, gender economics, and much more.

  Most exciting of all, she has a new and excellent book out called career and Women's Century long journey toward equity.

  Claudia, welcome.

• 01:50

  I'm very, very pleased to be here.

• 01:52

  Tyler, let me ask a question I've been wondering about.

• 01:55

  Why does China right now have so many of the world's self made female billionaires?

• 02:01

  I don't know.

• 02:02

  I wouldn't mind being one.

• 02:05

  But it's a big change in the payment of women, right?

• 02:08

  And it's happened in one place.
