The Heritage Foundation, perhaps the most powerful and harmful of the right-wing think tanks, has released its latest “Index of Economic Freedom” – a report that magically calls us free or oppressed based entirely on whether or not there’s a Republican in the White House. Join us for a discussion on phony scholarship and how the right spends tons of money to fake legitimacy for some of the most nonsensical arguments imaginable. Our guest is Matias Vernengo, Professor of Economics at Bucknell University.
