maybe the princeton logo. logos were the result, in an important, indirect way, of the invention of the automobile. so there advertising changed as a result. but it wasn't altogether good news. and the most sobering thing is this. it's what happened that caused the great depression. because in 1932 the u.s. census bureau put out a report that basically said that the decline of the horse was one of the main corrupting factors of the present economic situation, and it affected the entire country. well, how could this be? well, the answer when you start to think about it and reason through it becomes clear. in 1905, 25% of all agricultural output of the united states was used to feed horses. and the population of horses declined, farmers were smart. they said, you know what? horses like hay, but people do not. they grew less hay. they shifted their acreage into wheat and corn. and because of the inelastic nature of prices for crops, they overproduced. and the price of those crops plummeted. once the prices of tho

time he edit a profile of the princeton cemetery it had so much red ink for a minute i thought words have been crossed out and i started to tear up and then i looked intiewp this kind, calm face and john said, i thought this was great. i took out some of your adjectives. [laughter] later without adjectives for the first time i started to see my own voice as a writer. and to understand the craft of writing, like most people, though, i first u knew john mcphee u through his book. i read coming into the country my freshman year. in the book john traveled through some of the most remote parts of the alaska wilderness. i come to princeton idaho and incredibly home sick and especially miss kind of raw overwhelm nature of the west and started reading come into the country i remembering being amazed how johns able to capture feeling that have kind of nature. how he had done this? wasn't he from new jersey and he hasn't used dramatic language or big adjectives, in fact, he seemed to spend a lot of time measuring animal tracks and taking the temperature of streams but somehow through that, joh

adam, are pushing this idea called microgrid and i understand there is an example of this a ath princeton university. the question is. how do the rest of us pay for this? >> how do we pay for the things. i think it begins with a question of business as up, right? what are we paying for today? when we talk about the continued exposure of wires and lines and the continued rebuilding of the things, you know, we are talking about billions of dollars and expenses. all right. let me ask you. why not have this house by house. i know a lot of people with whole house generators myself included operating off of natural gas. we got the structure in blase more than 7% of homes in a place like new jersey already connected to the natural gas bridge. well, it is expensive, right it? begins and think of it like cop-cation. right? the beginning very expensive cell phones were for limited subset of people or communication and emergencies over time and this will grow just like telecommunication cable has green over times and the house, the choices are limited to thual till utility allow that to be much more

diploma with no education or princeton education with no diploma which one would you rather have right now right and if you even have to think about it you really agree with me and what i'm saying is sure a school does teach some useful skills but one of the main reasons people go is just to get a stamp on their forehead to get a seal of approval to do get certified and of course that's really useful for the individual because if you've got that nice princeton agree then employers are going to be a lot more interested in hiring you but i say is from the point of view of society that's not really very helpful because if we were all to go and have nice fancy degrees this would mean we'd all get to have nice jobs it would mean that you just need to have more education and fancier degrees in order to be considered worthy of employment so i mean really i say a lot of education is a rat race where the more you have the more you need to be considered employable and again of course if people are learning a lot of really useful skills in school than this would be fine because you learn useful s

host: how was princeton? princeton was my choice. i was selected to come back to teach in the social science department in west point. i asked the kernel where would you like me to go to graduate school? i said, where do prefer your people to come to? he said, we like harvard, john hopkins, stanford. those are the big schools for international relationships and for economics. and you'll probably teach economics when you first get here. i said, do you have a preference? he said, that is your call. i said, i think i will go to princeton and one of the things -- one of the reasons i picked princeton, stanford is in flames in the middle of the vietnam war and i do not think i want to go to harvard because it is equally left wing and against the war but princeton is pretty conservative. the day we arrived, they burned down the rotc building. >> what year was this? >> this was 1970. >> we did not live on the campus. we lived off in a small new jersey town nearby. i had a great time learning international relations except for professor rich

well, for starters my father's field of sports medicine he was the doctor of princeton football teams. when i was 8-years-old a football jersey, black with orange tiger stripes on the sleeve and a numbesleeves and at and back was made for me by the same company that made the big guys uniforms. saturdays i ran into the stadium anto the stadiumand stood on ths during the game and after they scored a win went around the gold coast and can't be extra points. a cold wind driven rain was drenching the stadium and i was miserable. the rain stung my eyes and i was shivering looking up at the press box where i knew there were space heaters. [laughter] i saw them sitting dry under the roof and decided then and there to become a writer. [applause] so, creative nonfiction is a term that is currently having its day. when i was in college, anyone that put those two words together would have been looked upon as a comedian or a fool. today, creative nonfiction is the title of the course i teach, the college course i teach. the title asks an obvious question what is creative about nonfiction? it takes

. >> well, joining us next from new york city is princeton university history professor julian who has written, the presidency of barack obama, a first hoice torecal assessment. -- a first historical assessment. book that he edited with other writers and it has just come out. we are inviting him this morning and thank you for being with us. we want to ask you about the product -- the project. the first assessment of the obama presidency. what originally got it going on the book and help to bring together the various writers involved in this? a book like done this about george w. bush and his presidency when it came to an end. and i wanted to continue doing this. moveally the idea was to beyond the presidential rankings that we already have when a presidency ends and instead, bring some of the brightest , who were not obama specialists but specializing on other issues, foreign policy and having them write the chapter that puts this presidency into perspective. so they all wrote their first draft and presented it at a meeting we had in princeton the week after november elections. and tha

he goes on after the fellowship at princeton to work at a place called bell laboratory and it's this span of time the planet mit and princeton and bell laboratories that exposes him to things like cryptography that exposes him to things like the telephone network and all of that that thinking and roughly ten years of thinking turned into a 77 page paper that establishes the field of information. >> host: to me, we already had telephones and walkie-talkies and telegraph et cetera et cetera prior to 1948 so what did claude shannon bring to the table? >> guest: what he does is show that everyone you just described, telephones, walkie-talkies, et cetera all of those forms of medication are reducible to bits. it's natural for us to talk about bits like these bits traveling to the air to communicate the information we send them an iphone to a satellite that was the concept until claude shannon came around and said that the message doesn't matter, the meaning doesn't matter, the recipient, the sender and none of that matters but all kinds of information are reducible to this same essential

shannon goes on, after a fellowship at princeton, to work at a place called bell laboratories. and it's this span of time -- the time at mil, princeton and bell laboratories -- that exposes him to things like cryptography, like the telephone network. and all of that thinking, that roughly ten years of thinking turns into a 77-page paper that establishes the field of information theory. >> host: well, jimmy sonny, we had already had -- jimmy soni, we had already had telephones and telegraphs, etc., etc., prior to 1948. what did claude shannon bring to the table? >> guest: what he does is show that everything you just described, that all of those forms of communication are reduceable to bits. it's very natural to talk about these bits traveling through the air to communicate the information we send from an iphone to a satellite. but that was not a concept until claude shannon came around and said the message doesn't matter, the meaning doesn't matter, the recipient, the seasonedder, none of that -- the sender, none of that matters. all kinds of information are reducible to this s

our next question comes from princeton, west virginia. some guidanced and i think your question has to do with that. >> thank you so much. they do have a couple of prepared remarks. i have a commissioner in mercer county, west virginia. i have been active in primary prevention strategies. i know prevention actually works on the front-end. to say how it take if you a snapshot of what it is like in rural america. we started this in 1998. it was as a needed hillbilly heroin. we saw this coming. it has done harm to the individual but also society as a whole. the social service system we have seen have been overlooked. can tell you, from 2005 until 2012, the amount of bills that came to my community was over 16 million. west virginia has declared a state of emergency for hepatitis c. in seven counties including mine are at risk for the likes we have never seen. according to the cdc 78% of people die of overdoses every day. in west virginia we have one that dies every 10 hours. if you are looking at this from perspective, it is 20% of our annua

president trump, well, we don't know yet, princeton economics professor alan blinder might. he's the author of advice and dissent, why america suffers when economics and politics collide. he joins us now. good to see you, thank you for being here. >> thank you, liz. liz: from the standpoint of an economist is president donald trump on or off focusing on the wall and fairer trade? >> i'd say pretty far offpoint. talking about fair trade is fine, we want trade to be fair, but as you know that's often a euphemism for protectionism which is not fine is. steel tariff part of fair trade? most economists don't think so. liz: i'm hearing you say that what could eventually become a multifront trade war is not the way to be going here? what should he be focusing on, then? and by the way, i would say the economy doesn't look that bad right now? >> the economy looks quite good, absolutely. but to the china point, rather than to the steel point which is the bigger deal when we talk about a trade war, he looks like he's provoking it with china. he missed the boat on the best opportunity.

the next question comes from princeton, west virginia. greg pocket, last week, the usda issued some guidance on opioids in rural america and i think your question has something to do with that as well. >> it certainly does. thank you so much. i would like to thank the administration, the panel, for allowing us to come and be with you today. i have a couple of prepared remarks to preclude my question. i am a commissioner in west virginia, i have been for three years and i have been active in primary prevention strategies through local community-based coalitions for the last 17 years. i would also like to say -- i would like to give you a quick snapshot of what it is like to live in rural america. we started this in 1998 with oxycontin, when it first came down. it was designated "hillbilly heroin." we saw this coming but it also has harmed to society as a whole. in the last 19 years, the social survey system we have seen, has become overloaded. employment rates have risen to record levels and i can tell you to 2012, the amount of opioids th

shannon goes on after a fellowship at princeton to work at a place called bell laboratories. it is the span of time that exposes him to things like cryptography, to things like the telephone network. all of that, that thinking, that roughly 10 years of thinking turns into a 77-page paper that establishes the field of information theory. peter: jimmy soni, we have already had telephones and walkie-talkies and telegraphs, etc. prior to 1948. what did claude shannon bring to the table? jimmy: what he does is show that everything you just described -- telephones, walkie-talkies, etc. -- that all of those forms of communication are reducible to bits. it is natural for us to talk about bits. bits traveling through the air that communicate the information we send. that was not a concept until claude shannon came around and said the message does not matter, the meaning does not matter. the recipient, the sender, none of that matters. all kinds of information are reducible to the same essential quantity. we can quantify it, we can manipulate it, we can do things with it. that was an i

i was hired by a group -- princeton research. it had nothing to do with the -- university of princeton. but, it paid well. and, i had to get through 45 doors with a questionnaire of about 40 questions, and produce that, and bring them back to my employer. and they were handed out all over new hampshire. if you got a proper sampling, you could get a very good reading on people's opinion. so, i went around, door to door, it was not too difficult in some towns. but, i noticed even in my own thoughts in a poor or rich area -- i'm talking to mill workers and university employees. i'm talking to a lot of people in the middle, and one question that struck me at the end -- is that after you find out they knew there was more than one senator in the state, and after you find out that they had voted three or four times -- you said, would you vote for a presidential candidate who was divorced? and, you know what the bell curve is -- it was a perfect bell curve. if you are a woman catholic, protestant denominations, jewish, and even other, ri
