Cartels: Economists and Central Bankers
by Gary North

***Begin Quote***

You will search in vain for a chapter on education as an oligopoly within the context of tax-funding, laws mandating education up to age 16, and government licensing of college-accreditation agencies. Somehow, economics textbook authors skip over any analytical discussion of this, the largest sector of the American economy.

***End Quote***

This skewers the blindspot of economists. And, politicians depend upon people to overlook the essential question.

Why do we have the gooferment funding, operating, and regulating so many things best left to the free market?

Education, banking, medicine, drugs, farming, … .. the gooferment has it’s nose in everything!

That needs some debate!
