Arnold Kling on Economics for the 21st Century
EconTalk
Elizabeth Anderson talks about her book, Private Government, with host Russ Roberts. She argues that employers have excessive power over employees they would never accept from government authority. Topics include the role of competition in potentially mitigating employer control, whether some worker rights should be inviolate, potential measures for empowering employees, and the costs and benefits over time of a relatively unregulated labor market.
