Dr. Jonathan Newman is back on the show to discuss Robert Reich's latest videos about debunking economic myths.Robert Reich incorrectly blames the free market when businesses act on incentives provided by the government. He condenses this information into short, impactful videos for his audience. However, most of what Reich talks about isn't really economics.
