Politically Incorrect Guide to Politics

in Media, Politics

Tomorrow night’s John Stossel special — "Politically Incorrect Guide to Politics" — features, I’m proud to report, lots of ideas and footage of some GMU economists, as well as of other insightful folks such as the Cato Institute‘s David Boaz.  It will air at 10:00pm EDT.

I've seen that. If you click on the start button at the bottom of the image, you can watch the episode now.

It was a good show. Stossel's stuff is definitely designed to provoke a visceral reaction, but I think there's some good intellectual arguments there, too.

Wow! That was an amazing show! Haven't seen anything this hard-hitting, ever. I can't believe there won't be any political backlash.

What a great show. TOTAL reality check on what I already suspected..that no matter who ends up being president…same crap is inevitable.

Wish I could send it to all my friends to watch because EVERYONE needs to see this!!!

Roberts should have punted to Kling on the crisis. Sorry to hear the simplistic take, yet again.

Sadly, in the Rinkonomics example, skaters authorized/empowered the holder of the bull horn by following the commands. Following rules is easy – even if you don't agree with them. To not follow rules takes invention, risk, and faith. OK with that said, and knowing most of us writing here agree with the need for less government intervention – how do we change it? What should government look like? What can we do besides complain?
The concept of spontaneous order sounds great, but can it alone work in all situations? What does a healthcare system based on spontaneous order look like?
