Stossel on Freedom in Education

“It shows how horrible things were, that it took this long for this eminently sensible thing to happen”

Stossel made a speech at Reason Weekend 2012, Reason Foundation’s annual donor event, about the successes of freedom in education. He talked about trying to update his 20/20 special, “Stupid in America,” and not being able to do it, visiting Harlem schools full of kids ready to learn and why libertarians oppose a single payer system in health-care but cheer it in education.

Stossel demonstrates how he started his career with a jaded view of capitalism and business, but came to realize that the government didn’t actually make things better. John makes the point that the government’s regulatory interventions come in after things were already getting better. This might be a great video to share if you know someone that preaches the “evil capitalist” line, but has nothing to back it up. Thanks to @Galtsgirl who shared this on twitter.
