"When Capitalism Fails (Why Won't Anyone Think Of The Children?)" by @LearnLiberty ► Get Learn Liberty updates in your inbox! http://LearnLiberty.org/subscribe This LearnLiberty debate presents arguments for and against more government assistance to help the poor in the United States. In this clip, Prof. Steven Horwitz and Prof. Jeffrey Reiman discuss how to help the children of the poor avoid suffering because of mistakes their parents made. Both agree that improving the quality of schools lies at the heart of the issue, but they differ in what they perceive as the role of government in improving school quality. Prof. Reiman throws in a twist at the end: If poor children should not suffer from their parents' mistakes, perhaps wealthy children should not gain from their parents' successes. What do you think? How can the U.S. education system be improved? What can be done to ensure that the children of the poor do not suffer from the mistakes their parents have made? ►Learn More http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/31/world/asia/for-indias-poor-private-schools-help-fill-a-growing-demand.html?_r=0 [article]: Vikas Bajaj and Jim Yardley explain the importance of private schools for India's poor students and communities http://bleedingheartlibertarians.com/2011/06/markets-and-the-economic-condition-of-the-poor/ [article]: Steve Horwitz breaks down the economic condition of the poor and whether markets work to benefit the least advantaged http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/school-choice#axzz2l6ZMf1W8 [article]: Walter Williams explains the idea of School Choice and refutes many of the common arguments against it Reiman, Jeffrey.
