Caplan on Discrimination and Labor Markets
Bryan Caplan and Russ Roberts discuss the economics of discrimination and government's regulation of labor markets.

When does government regulation reduce or enforce discrimination? How do other labor market regulations affect employment and unemployment? What is the impact on the European and American standard of living? Does money buy happiness? Does it depend on whether it is earned or received as welfare? These are some of the topics that come up in this wide-ranging conversation.
