Is Market Failure an argument against government? - David Friedman

[jnevins64]

@Fetchdafish its cos he is wobbling and goes closer and futher from the mic ... still one of the best lectures ever Friedman >*

[Fetchdafish]

Anyone else annoying with the way he speaks? It really hurts my ears!

Quiet quiet quiet, quiet quiet LOUD! Quiet quiet quiet, quiet quiet LOUD!

I was hoping for a deeper analysis, but his examples of "market failure" are actually quite superficial. I like to attack "market failure" right at the roots of the concept. What is a market and what exactly constitutes failure? Every single time, the person putting forth the concept is reduced to saying "Other people aren't doing what I want them to do." In other words, it's a phony concept invented by big-government folk in order to justify their interference with other people.

@moriendus lol I fully endorse this comment

[ReasonAndLiberty]

I'd love to believe this, but then the argument simply becomes "subsidize education!"
