Introduction to our 7th season: Capitalism. The world's dominant economic system is on trial as it hasn't been for at least half a century. Millions, young people especially, now see capitalism as the problem, not the solution. Others fear throwing out the baby with the bathwater. By John Biewen, with co-host Ellen McGirt. Interviews with John Fullerton, Cassandra Brooks and Charlene Brooks. Story editor: Loretta Williams. Music by Michelle Osis, Lilli Haydn, Alex Symcox, and Goodnight, Lucas. Music consulting by Joe Augustine of Narrative Music. Art by Gergo Varga and Harper Biewen. “Capitalism” is a production of the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University, in partnership with Imperative 21.
Economics students are often taught that government should intervene when there is market failure. But what about government failure? Should we expect government intervention to outperform market outcomes? Listen as Duke University economist Michael Munger explores the history of how economists have thought about this dilemma and possible ways to find a third or even fourth option beyond government or markets.
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Market Failure that Will Force Doctors to Keep Writing Opioid Prescriptions, published by mincho on June 8, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is an article of mine from Recursive Adaptation. We are always looking for new collaborators as we expand our research and policy development! Excerpts The Problem Suzetrigine is a novel non-opioid, sodium channel painkiller with no addictive potential, from mid-size pharma company Vertex. It has shown positive results in Phase 3 and is being submitted to the FDA for approval by the end of 2024 or early 2025. Suzetrigine is roughly equivalent in pain reduction efficacy to Vicodin (hydrocodone / APAP), which is one of the most commonly prescribed opioids. We recently reviewed the efficacy and promise of suzetrigine in this article. There are other broad non-opioid painkillers in the pipelines of other companies that may arrive over the next few years. This is great news - can we start removing opioids from medical treatment to prevent patients from developing addictions? Unfortunately, there's a huge obstacle: like other new medications, insurance providers will not pay for suzetrigine unless a doctor can show that a patient has tried a cheaper generic drug first and it was ineffective. And the cheaper generics for pain are opioids. Next year, as tens of millions of Americans are getting teeth pulled, having surgeries, and suffering from chronic nerve pain, they will needlessly receive opioid prescriptions while a much safer alternative sits on the shelf waiting for its patent to expire a decade from now. About 3-6% of those patients who are prescribed opioids will become dependent, generating millions of completely avoidable new opioid addictions every year ( 1, 2, 3). Non-patients will become addicted too, as many opioid addictions begin with prescriptions that were diverted from the original patient to someone else- leftover pills given to friends or discovered in a medicine cabinet. Proposed Solution Let's make a wild guess and say that Vertex expects to earn $100 million from suzetrigine in the US next year as a second-line treatment. That $100 million cost is already being borne by the public - through insurance premiums, taxes for Medicare and Medicaid, etc. Instead, if the federal government can step in and offer Vertex $120 million in exchange for making suzetrigine available at generic prices, that would be a win for everyone - Vertex would make more money and remain incentivized to develop safer pain treatments and the public would pay only an extra 20% to get the drug to 5X or 10X or 20X as many people. The result is that those patients are safer, addictions are avoided, and huge downstream costs from addiction are saved. Meanwhile, over the next few years, more non-opioid painkillers are expected to become available from other companies and once this arrangement is established, similar deals can be negotiated and renegotiated depending on market conditions. This should be an obvious public health win. We should not be willing to accept a single day where suzetrigine is FDA approved but is being denied by insurance companies, forcing doctors to prescribe unnecessary opioids. (More details of how this could be implemented are in the article) Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

Picking up where we left off with Owen Barder, Jim digs deeper into how tech enters the discussion, in particular what Precision Development has been doing to tackle major sustainable agriculture challenges in developing countries. Key topics: When to do AB testing (à la Facebook) vs. a full-blown Randomized Control Trial (the typical government approach); the fact that data helps flag a problem, but you still need to dig deeper to understand exactly what that problem is; and the fact that farmers today, especially in developing countries, are operating under more uncertainty than they need to. > Transcript on website RATE, WRITE, SUBSCRIBE Be sure to leave us a rating on Spotify or a review on Apple Podcasts!

Throughout Owen's journey, one central question has been: How do you navigate market failure, especially when the stakes are sky-high? The typical choice between government intervention vs. private investment vs. third sector solutions often can't cut it. Owen and innovators like him don't have all the answers, but are able operate at the highest institutional level, crafting and implementing new models that go beyond a single ideology in order to tackle some of the most formidable global economic challenges. With a distinguished career as a civil servant in the UK Treasury, the UK Department of International Development, private secretary to the Prime Minister, and Vice President of the Center for Global Development, Owen Barder has worn many hats. As if that's not impressive enough, he's also the CEO of Precision Development, a nonprofit on a mission to bring tailored data and services to smallholder farmers in developing countries, fostering economically and ecologically sustainable practices. > Transcript on website RATE, WRITE, SUBSCRIBE If you like what you hear, leave us a 5 star rating on Spotify or a review on Apple Podcasts!

Hurdling Towards Market Failure
Anyone who has tried shopping for day care knows that it is tough out there.For one, it is hard even to get your hands on information about costs, either online or over the phone – day cares will often only share their prices after you have taken a tour of their facilities. Even once you find a place you like, many day cares have waitlists stretching 6 months, 9 months, a year.Waitlists are a classic economic sign that something isn't right, that prices are too low. But ask any parent and they will tell you that prices for day cares are actually too high. According to a recent report from the U.S. Treasury, more than 60% of families can't afford the full cost of high quality day care. Meanwhile, day care owners can barely afford to stay open. No one is happy.On today's show, we get into the very weird, very broken market for day care. We will try to understand how this market can simultaneously strain parents' budgets and underpay its workers. And we will look at a few possible solutions.This show was produced by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler. Emma Peaslee helped book the show. It was mastered by Gilly Moon. Keith Romer edited this episode.

Nathan Stephens narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. Dementia is rarely considered a market issue, well at least not explicitly. Yet the unequitable distribution of care and support, cost of care and unpaid care, and inequality of information are symptoms of a ‘failed market'. This is according to the Treasury's Green Book which identifies four domains of market failure: under-provision of public goods/services, imperfect information about goods/services, externalities, and market or monopoly power. In this blog Nathan discusses the issues. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-addressing-market-failure-why-we-cant-let-the-market-win/ -- Nathan Stephens is a PhD Student and unpaid carer, working on his PhD at University of Worcester, studying the Worcestershire Meeting Centres Community Support Programme. Inspired by caring for both grandparents and personal experience of dementia, Nathan has gone from a BSc in Sports & Physical Education, an MSc in Public Health, and now working on his PhD. -- Enjoy listening?

It's clear, when energy becomes short in supply, free market forces can't look after all of society. Just the wealthy. That's why governments are having to step in, propping up an industry that is raking in massive profits. But could free market forces drive a more efficient delivery of energy, by making lower cost renewable energy able to compete on a more level playing field. Whilst there's no doubt pricing is distorted in favour of fossil fuel provides, Steve tells Phil there's still no option but to nationalise the provision of energy, something we know will never happen.

Katherine runs an energy consultancy after years working for the West Australian government on energy policy, including decisions not to join the National Energy Market.View the presentation slides here:https://nucleuswealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Australian-electricity-meltdown.pptx.pdfThere are effectively 3 energy markets in Australia:* Western Australia where wholesale prices averaged $68/MWh over the last week.* Northern Territory where wholesale prices are around $70/MWh* The rest of Australia where wholesale prices were fixed at $300/MWh because they were spiking into the thousands and then the AEMO had to step in to force productionTo listen in podcast form click here: https://nucleuswealth.com/podcasts/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=podcastGet an obligation-free portfolio recommendation to see how we would invest for you: https://portal.nucleuswealth.com/register/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=podcastLearn more about the hosts: https://nucleuswealth.com/people/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=podcastFind us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/NucleusWealthhttps://twitter.com/NucleusWealthhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/nucleuswealth/Nucleus Wealth is an Australian Investment & Superannuation fund that can help you reach your financial goals through transparent, low cost, ethically tailored portfolios.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, says the suspension of the National Electricity Market is a direct result of the Coalition Government's policy deadlocks and failure to invest in the grid. He says lessons will be learned from the energy crisis and policy adjustments made where necessary.
AEMO is now warning that five states face power shortages, SA Premier Peter Malinauskas says that the current crisis has shown that the nations market structure is broken. He says repeated policy failures have compromised the nation and that SA will pursue state owned generation via what he says will be the world's largest hydrogen-electrolyser.
Both the economy and the energy markets are proving to be a challenging mix for the new Labor Government. The chief political correspondent with The Financial Review, Phil Coorey, joins RN Breakfast to discuss the latest developments in federal politics.

Housing policy in America is inextricably linked with employment opportunities, small business ventures, education access, and a host of other issues that directly impact economic opportunity. Understanding the history of low income housing in America is key to understanding and reimagining housing policy today. On this episode of Hardly Working, I am joined by Howard Husock to discuss his new book, The Poor Side of Town and Why We Need It. The book lays out a history of American housing policy and a thesis on how low-income housing that allows for private ownership can serve as a gateway to upward mobility, rather than the concentrated and intergenerational poverty that characterizes low-income housing today. Husock is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute where he focuses on urban housing policy, civil society, and municipal government. He has held positions at the Manhattan Institute, the Harvard Kennedy School, and has worked as Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker. We discuss the history of low income residencies in America, the loss of social capital in low income neighborhoods, how much of this is due to public policy interventions, and solutions to rethink housing policy. You can find Howard's book on the AEI website. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Kris Krohn is joined by investors Trevor and Alena to discuss their experiences in the stock market and divulge how differently things have played out after making the decision to start investing in real estate.
This time on Tony's Political Ramblings, we delve into the possibility of using the systems, theoretical frameworks and laws in place to push for a more equitable society.

On this episode of More Than Profit, Bryce talks with Candice Matthews Brackeen, founder of Lightship Capital. As a business consultant, she has spent her professional career building community and seizing opportunities to promote growth. She discovered that black founders were underfunded, with only 0.67% venture-backed, so she began Lightship Capital to fund startups led by BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities. She and Bryce discuss creating an inclusive community within the marketplace and the value of having a holistic approach to consulting and investing. Candice describes the importance of getting to know the background and culture of each founder.

Future-Proofing Media Freedom, the new mini-series on the Undercurrents podcast feed, is a collaboration between Chatham House, Luminate, and the International Center for Journalists. Presented by Ben Horton, host of the Undercurrents podcast, and Dr Julie Posetti, Global Director of Research at the ICFJ, the series explores the challenges facing public interest media in the 21st century and highlights how a range of actors are seeking to tackle them. The rise of the major social media platforms and the internet-driven proliferation of news and analysis which is free at the point of delivery, has fundamentally undermined traditional media business models. From the controversies over the BBC licence fee model, to the slow death of local news outlets, the economic strain has rarely felt more pressing. Beyond advertising and subscription business models, what solutions exist to ensure the survival of independent media organisations? To answer this question, Ben and Julie are joined by Joyce Barnathan (President of the International Center for Journalists), Nishant Lalwani (Managing Director of Luminate) and Renata Rizzi (founder and strategy lead of Nexo, a Sao Paolo-based news start-up).

It is critical that governments apply a meaningful carbon price. But if we are to move money at the pace and scale required to deal with climate risk, governments also need to reconsider the entire architecture of markets. This means focussing a climate lens on prudential regulation, listing rules, accounting standards, investment standards, valuation conventions, governance codes, and stewardship codes – as well as building on new interpretations of legal fiduciary duty, such as those set forth by the UK Government. In this webinar, Steve will outline how we might collectively make use of the combination of COP26 and the UK-hosted G7 in 2021 to move this important work forward. Speaker: Steve Waygood chairs the ESG Senior Leadership Team at Aviva Investors, and is a member of the CIO Investment Committee. Steve founded Aviva Investors' Sustainable Finance Centre for Excellence. This Centre seeks to transform capital markets so that they support long term sustainable development. He also co-founded the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark, the World Benchmarking Alliance, the UN Sustainable Stock Exchange Initiative and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Coalition. He was also part of the group that helped write the Principles for Responsible Investment. Steve was appointed to the European Commission High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance, and the UK Green Finance Taskforce, and is also a member of the Financial Stability Board Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). Steve started his career at the World Wide Fund for Nature in 1995, where he chaired the business and industry core group and oversaw the ethical investment policy. He also served on the board of the UK Sustainable Investment & Finance association (UKSIF) from 2003 to 2010, serving as its Chairman from 2006.

If a bear eats a burger in the woods and doesn’t realize it’s not from a cow, does it care? Until bears evolve the ability to communicate, I suppose we’ll never know. It’s an impossible question, but not as impossible as the Impossible Burger it just ate.The future of meatless meat is here! So we asked the closest thing we have to a bear in the woods at Building Tomorrow, our producer Landry Ayres, to taste test two burgers, one an Impossible Burger and the other a traditional burger. Check out the episode to find out whether Landry guessed between them correctly, then stay for our interview with an Impossible Foods representative about the environmental benefits of this burger that is made from soy protein yet still ‘bleeds’ when you bite into it.How do you define meat? Does Impossible Burgers taste like regular burgers? What is the environmental impact of the Impossible Burger? What is the key ingredient to the Impossible Burger? Is it possible to make the Impossible Burger at the same price as a regular burger?

This episode reproduces a discussion Bob had on Michel’s podcast, where they discussed the development of “welfare economics” in mainstream theory, in preparation for their subsequent discussion (which will be Bob Murphy Show ep. 45) of Kenneth Arrow’s famous paper critiquing free-market health care delivery.

https://accadandkoka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Bob-Murphy_2017-1-e1560975045893.jpg ()Robert P. Murphy, PhD It is commonly believed that healthcare is a sector plagued by “market failure.” A heavy dose of government intervention is therefore necessary to optimize the needs of society. A paper most commonly cited in support of that view is one published in 1963 by Nobel Prize winner Kenneth Arrow, one of the giants of economic theory in the 20th century, and titled “Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care.” But how does economic theory arrive at the concept of market failure and how do economists conceive of health care when they apply their theoretical models to medical practice? To help sort this out, we have as our guest Robert P. Murphy, economist, teacher, and author of many books. Dr. Murphy obtained his PhD from NYU and is Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute. He is co-host, with Tom Woods, of the popular podcast Contra Krugman and he is also host of The Bob Murphy Show, “a podcast promoting free markets, free minds, and grateful souls.” The episode in in 2 parts. In this first part, we review the theoretical framework that forms the background to Arrow’s paper. In the upcoming second part, we will delve into the paper itself, discuss how economists conceive (or misconceive) of medical care and what the implications have been for the US healthcare system as a whole.

SEGMENT 1: When it comes to a website, it's not set it and forget it. According to a Stanford university study, 75% of consumers just a company's credibility based on their website's design. Reviewing your website performance with a professional marketer is just like reviewing your balance sheet with your accountant. If you want to upgrade your website, what elements should you focus on? Beth Thouin, VP of Digital Marketing at Web.com, lays it all out for us.SEGMENT 2: Are you working hard to develop and launch a new or innovative product? If so, I have some good news ...and some bad news. First, the bad news: most new products will fail in the market, even if competently executed. The good news is that the former Engineering Director at Google is here to help us avoid this failure. Alberto Savoia is an award-winning entrepreneur, innovator, and speaker. He was the Engineering Director at Google. Today, in addition to working on his own ideas and projects, he teaches his unique approach for beating the Law of Market Failure in seminars and workshops at Google, Stanford University, and to organizations all over the world. He is the author of the book “The Right It”. SEGMENT 3: One of the parts of the economy that has really grown over the last 10 years is the maker culture. This is a democratic, “DIY” culture that intersects with “hacker culture” and revels in the creation of new things as well as tinkering with existing ones. One company, The Grommet, has been on the leading edge of this and one of the co-founders is on to share her insight on the maker economy. Jules Pieri is cofounder and CEO of The Grommet, a site that has launched more than two thousand consumer products since 2008. She was named one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs in 2013 and Goldman Sachs' 100 Most Interesting Entrepreneurs in 2014. She is currently an Entrepreneur in Residence at Harvard Business School. Her new book is “HOW WE MAKE STUFF NOW: Turn Ideas into Products That Build Successful Businesses”.Sponsored by Nextiva, Corporate Direct, MAKO and Web.com

In today's episode I'm honoured to welcome back Bryan Cheang of Students for Liberty to discuss the fascinating topic of market failure. We discuss the textbook definition of the phrase, how it deviates from the mainstream use of the term, and whether state intervention is the best means to solve market failures. This is an episode jam packed with much to learn and many cases to learn from, including market failures regarding pollution, healthcare, education, and much more. In this episode, we discuss: - The textbook definition of market failure with its feature of competitive equilibrium and Pareto efficiency - 2 examples of market failure arguments, positive and negative externalities, and how they play out in the real world - Where the mainstream use of the term deviates from the textbook definition - Why it is wrong to use equity as a standard to judge capitalism - The “nirvana fallacy” and why it can be dangerous to regard the State as infallible - Public Choice Theory, special interest groups, and the insidious consequence of concentrated benefits with dispersed costs - The inefficiencies of the NHS in the UK, and alternative solutions to state intervention - How PIC grants in Singapore can have negative societal effects Much thanks again to my guest Bryan for being such a wonderful guest on the show, if you would like to learn more about him, you can check out his organization and what they do, you can go to www.facebook.com/SingaporeSFL.

Someone hit me on twitter yesterday with the link to an article talking about the current glut of Milk we have here in the U.S. Apparently this listener has been getting emails suggesting this is an example of a market failure. I chuckle at the notion. Certainly, we can point to examples in Russia and Germany where central authority produced far too much of a good and failed to provide enough of another. How does this example in Milk differ from those? That's what I'm going to focus on today. I hope to give you some insight into why these things happen in a free market and how it's different from the overproduction in communist or socialist countries. Enjoy! JasonSupport the show.
COURSE OVERVIEW: Introduction to Political Economy is a self-contained and nontechnical overview of the intellectual history of political economy, the logic of microeconomics, and the definitions used in macroeconomics. It introduces the notion of a political economy, emphasizing the moral and ethical problems that markets solve, and fail to solve. LECTURE OVERVIEW: 1. Externalities: The uncompensated impact of one person’s actions on the well-being of a bystander 2. Markets alone overproduce negative externalities (such as pollution) and underproduce positive externalities (such as education). 3. The solution may be to "internalize" the externality by taxing bads (pollution) and subsidizing goods (education). 4. Private solutions (the "Coasian Bargaining" solutions) can work if numbers are small and transactions costs are not too high. 6. The reason markets are so useful is that prices provide a means of rationing scarce resources efficiently. The main means of rationing include: Price system (market) Queuing (first-come-first-served) Chance (lottery, drawing) Authority/discretion (experts choose) 7. The standard for "efficient" rationing is "Pareto Optimality": There is no feasible reallocation of resources that makes everyone better off, or makes at least one person better off and makes no one worse off. Technically, if the outcome of decentralized processes is not P.O., then that is a market failure A failure to enforce property rights (a la Hobbes), so the state just doesn’t do its job: Not a PO. 8. Types of "market failures": Information Asymmetries Natural Monopoly Externalities Public Goods Justice of the income/wealth distribution
Brennan discusses the intersection of political philosophy and political economy in this conclusion to our Guide.
Christine Exley is Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Christine is also Co-founder and Chief of Research at Wagaroo - an organisation dedicated in re-housing homeless dogs to responsible and loving families. Wagaroo was founded to bring a simple principle to life: When it comes to getting a pet, it's time to make it easier for people to do the right thing! No puppy mills. No backyard breeders. Just owners, rescues, responsible breeders, and shelters working together to find great homes for dogs who need them. Find out more at wagaroo.com. In this episode you will learn: the use of assumptions in economic models for testing. how to encourage volunteering and whether monetary incentives work. how a trip to Honduras changed Christine’s academic path from mathematics to economics. how a story about an individuals’ plight can be a powerful message to have people react in a charitable manner, while the plight of millions with no media coverage of a personal story of suffering could become less powerful. about Wagaroo and why Christine set it up to help save dogs from puppy mills. what are thick and thin markets. how to spot an irresponsible dog breeder. about the family2family programme run by Wagaroo. how localised knowledge is key to separate the responsible dog breeder from the irresponsible breeder. why more must be done to regulate and protect animals. how Christine saved a pups life from a dog shelter when she was 17 and became her family pet. why people put in less effort once they hit a target. about the motivating benefits of rewarding volunteers with gift cards rather than a cash equivalent. how virtual rewards, like stickers and badges, can incentivize people to meet targets. how people’s perceptions of a Pit Bull are an Econ 101 thing! and much much more.

Welcome back! You've got yourself a bigtime MEGA-POD here, fellow Conspirator... In this one, GG and Furb explore the claims being made by the Obama Administration (and the Brits) that the Assad regime in Syria used chemical weapons against people in that nation. We also look at a fundamental question that if often posed to anarcho-capitalists (ie voluntarists), which is, as the title implies, "Wouldn't an anarcho society simply turn into a de-facto government/state run by the folks with the most powerful police agency? Good information here. Plus a refutation of a statement made by David Friedman about so-called "Market Failure", which is a HUGE misnomer and runs contrary to the reality of what a market is! That plus music by Broadcast "Come on, Let's Go", Government Issue with "Jaded Eyes", sundry clips from The Stooges, The Cult, The Demons, Killing Joke, and Massive Attack, and The Cult "The Witch". This program sponsored by: The John Kerry Elocution School "Sound Robotic! You Know You Wanna!" --- Be Seeing You! (www.libertyconspiracy.com)
Chase and Mike sit down with Dr. Walter Block, professor of economics at Loyola University in New Orleans. Walter talks about the myth of the market failure, and discusses how the free market does a much better job of dealing with environmental problems than the state does. You can check out Dr. Block's work at www.walterblock.com or at www.mises.org Here is the article by Murray Rothbard which Dr. Block refers to: http://archive.mises.org/4939/law-property-rights-and-air-pollution-by-murray-rothbard/ Buy his books, including "Defending the Undefendable" one of the first libertarian books I ever read.
A discussion of the principal circumstances in which markets do not produce an optimal outcome. After formally defining market failure, I discuss the ‘big four’ market failures of market power, externalities, public goods and asymmetric information. I conclude with a brief look at transaction costs. Recommended pre-listening is Episode 12: The Price System.

Clifford Winston of the Brookings Institution talks about the ideas in his book, Market Failure vs. Government Failure, with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Winston summarizes a large literature on antitrust, safety regulation and environmental regulation. He finds that government regulation often fails to meet its objectives. While markets are imperfect, so is government. Winston argues that idealized theories of government intervention based on textbook theories of market failure are not the way regulation turns out in practice. He argues that special interest politics explains much of the disappointing outcomes of government regulation.

In this podcast, we define market failure and examine some of the key reasons for the occurence of market failure.
In this podcast, we examine some of the ways in which governments can help to correct market failures.
Shawn Cunningham and Jorg Meyer-Stamer discuss the issue of market failure: What is it? How can you address it? And how does it relate to other modes of organising economic transactions?
Don Boudreaux of George Mason University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about when market failure can be improved by government intervention. After discussing the evolution of economic thinking about externalities and public goods, the conversation turns to the case for government's role in promoting competition via antitrust regulation. Boudreaux argues that the origins of antitrust had nothing to do with protecting consumers from greedy monopolists. The source of political demand for antitrust regulation came from competitors looking for relief from more successful rivals.
