Malthus in The Moral Maze

Jim Riley

27th March 2008

I’ve long been waiting for a chance to plug one of the best radio shows on this blog, and now is the perfect opportunity. Yesterday aired one of the most economic topics on The Moral Maze yet: the allocation of most necessary resource: food. Philosophy took a back seat on this issue as the panel threw words like Malthus and de-regulated markets around like they had PhDs in Economics. Impressive.

Do have a listen, and don’t let the religion tag scare you.
