On this episode of The Lebenthal Report, Michael Hartzman and Dominick Tavella welcome Harvard Law Professor Alexandra Natapoff, co-editor with Professor Guy-Uriel Charles, of America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance.
Featuring essays from sixty-two Harvard Law professors, the book examines some of the most consequential questions facing the country through perspectives spanning constitutional law, criminal justice, the Supreme Court, free speech, technology, inequality, and more. Professor Natapoff explains why America remains an “unfinished” project and why understanding opposing viewpoints is essential to meaningful democratic conversation.
The conversation also turns to artificial intelligence and the law, including how existing legal principles could be applied as AI creates new questions surrounding responsibility, accountability, and decision-making.
Michael and Dominick also open the show with a market update covering rising Treasury yields, interest rates, inflation, the national debt, and their potential impact on consumers, businesses, and the economy.
