About this episode

Tom Woods discusses the relationship between government involvement and pricing in various sectors, highlighting why LASIK and plastic surgery have seen price decreases.

Prices in housing, education, and healthcare keep rising — and it's no coincidence those are the sectors with the highest government involvement. Where government stays out — like LASIK and plastic surgery for instance — prices actually fall. Tom Woods breaks down why top-down "solutions" only create bubbles, and why 2008 was the proof.
