What If Economists Were in Charge?

March 24, 2010

The latest Freakonomics podcast asks GMU’s Russ Roberts, Mart Laar (two term prime minister of Estonia), a high-end call girl, and Patri.  Stephen Dubner starts off with some poll data from Zogby on how Americans feel about their congressmen. Evidently Americans felt better about OJ Simpson when he was on trial than they currently do about congress between two consenting rent-seekers. Another interesting fact from the Call Girl: the more money men pay for prostitutes, the less interested they are in sex and the more interested they are in strange behavior and companionship. Hiiiyaaaaaah!
