[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHntki_HkRw] I notice in this video, about 20 minutes in or so, Stefan and Lawrence say that WW2 didn't end the Depression, but then what did?

OMG, I can't wait for your video on Scandinavia. Out of all the argument out there, that one deserves to be debunked the most. Question though - Are you going to debunk every aspect of Scandinavia that others applaud, or just the economics of that area?

I see you've taken my criticism to heart, Stefan. Thank you so much for the change in format!

Wow, this is all very interesting. It begs a more in depth analysis.Culd you be more precise in what you think the problem is? What about things like poverty, ability to excel economically, freedom?

I guess the proper question is why are scandinvian countries bad models to replicate? Any good articles that shed light on this?

I guess there isn't any evidence against UHC?

Am I wrong in believing that life expectancy and infant mortality are irrelevant to a discussion of healthcare?

In a debate. Life expectancy and infant mortality rate is an extremely popular argument in favor of UHC.

Also, I keep hearing bring up life expectancy and infant mortality rate. I just tell them that neither of those things are related to healthcare, rather lifestyle choices. Can anyone go any more in depth than I?

I'm not interested in moral arguments. I need links to studies and the like. Also, what's the story behind Great Britain having the best surgeons in the world? Is it true?

Thanks guys. This is a good stuff.

I would just like to hear arguments against Krugman's views, consolidated in one thread. Thank you.

Thank you for hijacking my thread . . . .

How do free markets lead to feudalism? And if so, how can the free market correct this? Here's an interesting article from Dan Sullivan: http://geolib.com/essays/sullivan.dan/royallib.html

So you don't think capitalism's unrestrained emphasis on work (as opposed to freedom) is going to produce violence in people? Just inquiring. Why would it produce violence and not innovation?
