Do democracies really make the best decisions? Should we
encourage everyone to vote, even if they don't understand the
issues?
I am joined today by Dr. Bryan Caplan, who is a professor of
economics at George Mason University. He's also the author of "The
Myth of the Rational Voter" (http://amzn.to/1Wn9xi4), which takes a
skeptical look at the reliability of voting.
We also discuss the educational establishment, from K-12 to
Higher Ed, and Dr. Caplan proposes what he calls the "signaling
model" of education.
