Munger on Many Things: Mike Munger talks with host Russ Roberts about many things. Listeners sent in questions for Mike and Russ to talk about. They chose ten of the most interesting questions with the idea of talking about each for six minutes. The topics are the scarcity of clean water, asset bubbles, the role of Fannie and Freddie in the financial crisis, can a business pass a tax on to its customers (or maybe even its workers), compassionate food, the study of economics, how to choose a college, the nature of cooperation in a modern economy, the humanity of non-profits, and the American Dream. by EconTalk Archives, 2010
