Podcast of the Day-Crisis of Abundance
By Paul
Crisis of Abundance: Rethinking How We Pay for Health Care- Arnold Kling’s book presentation at Cato;
“If you follow the video or audio all the way through to the Q&A, you will hear a Congressional aide's rant against economic analysis of health care. I chose not to respond, and I think that was the right choice. The book explains why health care is an economic issue, and I would leave it at that. Frankly, I thought that the audience Q&A did not add much. Just as with comments on blog posts, the first one often sets the tone, so that it's important to get a good question first.”
Listen to the podcast. Here is a discussion of the book at Tech Central Station. Also a Cato interview Arnold Kling.
