Resident fellow here at American Enterprise institute. It is my pleasure today to welcome to the aei professor Cass Sunstein. Hes the University Professor at harvard law school. He formerly was professor of law and professor of science at the university of chicago for many years. He was the administrator of the office of information and regulatory affairs, commonly known as oia come in the obama administration. Hes written more than a dozen books, and im happy to say that hes spoken a number of times here at the aei. We can trim a good friend of aei.

Its an important and interesting book, so please welcome Cass Sunstein to aei. [applause] okay, well its a thrill to be back here.
