Description
In this episode of the Beverage Report Podcast, we're joined by Professor Leah Boustan, an economic historian at Princeton University. Professor Boustan is the author of two books, Competition in the Promised Land and Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success. In our conversation, we discuss the Great Migration, white flight, and the impact of immigration on the American economy. We also talk about how machine learning is being used to track immigrants and their descendants, and how the concept of the American Dream has evolved over time. Professor Boustan is a leading expert on immigration and the economics of race. Her research has important implications for policymakers who are grappling with the challenges of immigration today.
