Ben Stein, Economist, TV Show Host, Comedian, Writer

Today, my guest is Ben Stein, economist, movie actor, author, novelist, screenwriter, law school professor, television show host and comedian.

 A graduate of Columbia University and Yale Law School, Ben never had any aspirations to be a lawyer; but instead stumbled into a series of jobs that ultimately led to him to serving in the Nixon and Ford administrations and achieving overnight fame in the iconic movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  

Ben was kind enough to take time from his busy speaking schedule to talk to me from one of his many vacation homes around the world.
