{"product_id":"book-it18","title":"Late Admissions","description":"\u003cb\u003eA shockingly frank memoir from a prize-winning economist, reflecting on his remarkable personal odyssey and his changing positions on identity, race, and belief.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEconomist Glenn C. Loury is one of the most prominent public intellectuals of our time: he's often radically opposed to the political mainstream, and delights in upending what's expected of a Black public figure. But more so than the arguments themselves—on affirmative action, institutional racism, Trumpism—his public life has been characterized by fearlessness and a willingness to recalibrate strongly held and forcefully argued beliefs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLoury grew up on the south side of Chicago, earned a PhD in MIT's economics program, and became the first Black tenured professor of economics at Harvard at the age of thirty-three. He has been, at turns, a young father, a drug addict, an adulterer, a psychiatric patient, a born-again Christian, a lapsed born-again Christian, a Black Reaganite who has swung from the right to the left and back again. In \u003ci\u003eLate Admissions\u003c\/i\u003e, Loury examines what it means to chart a sense of self over the course of a tempestuous, but well-considered, life.","brand":"Highbridge Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49350455394608,"sku":"BDit18","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49350455427376,"sku":"ZEit18","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49350455492912,"sku":"ZMit18","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/it18-cover.jpg?v=1765881859","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-it18","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
