>> I'm Paul Forester. I'm an assistant
00:00:05
professor in the legal studies and
00:00:07
business ethics department here at
00:00:08
Wharton. Originally, I'm from North
00:00:10
Carolina. That's where I was born. I
00:00:11
also grew up in Tennessee and South
00:00:13
Carolina. My research is in political
00:00:15
philosophy and specifically my topic is
00:00:18
about the justification of property
00:00:20
rights and taxation. I wanted to
00:00:22
research this topic because it's really
00:00:23
a pervasive set of issues that structure
00:00:26
the entire economy. I'm really excited
00:00:28
about the intellectual community here
00:00:30
and collaborating with a set of
00:00:31
colleagues across disciplines and with
00:00:33
different perspectives.
