Teaching Tools for Microeconomics

Description

Are prescription drug prices as outrageous as they are made out to be? Should farmers receive government subsidies, simply because they grow certain crops? What does it mean to be poor in America? This compilation of ABC News stories features 20/20 anchor John Stossel, who explores microeconomic questions through challenging, real-world examples. In his trademark down-to-earth style, Stossel covers topics including pharmaceutical pricing, wage discrimination, entrepreneurship in education, industry subsidies, government regulation, Adam Smith's "invisible hand," and much more.
