EconTalk
Nobelist Angus Deaton talks with host Russ Roberts about the economics of trade and aid. He wonders if economists should re-think the widely-held view that redistribution from rich nations to poor nations makes the world a better place. The conversation focuses on the challenges facing poor Americans including the rising mortality rate for white Americans ages 45-54.
