Is there any sort of time limit on this baseball game, 11pm in LA and 2am in New York, ratings must be falling off by now.

Maybe each inning after the 15th each side loses a fielder, continue until there is only a pitcher and catcher left to defend. It would eventually end the game

I was just in Australia giving the Boyer Lecture. It's an economist's love letter to his home country. It's also relevant to the current American moment, as the main point is to link institutions with prosperity.
