The head of Nokia, one of the richest guys in the world, sends his kid to the local public school. What's up with that? Join us as we talk about why it is the world's richest nation (ours) still has some pretty crummy public schools. Is it low funding, low expectations, an over-powerful teachers' union or poor parenting that's to blame? What are our best choices to improve our schools? Bill Brazell will kick off the discussion, taking Finland as foil - and seeing if it leads us to any answers. | ||

The NYC JoeBooks club hits its third read, this time taking in Jason Furman's recommendation, The Myth of the Rational Voter - which tells us how we're all, by nature, bad economists. Jason's not the only one who says it's a must-read; the Economist dug it, as did blogger/Harvard economist guru Greg Mankiw. Not everyone's raving though; Louis Menand gave it a rant at the New Yorker. Any way you slice its 200 pages, it's sure to give us something to talk about. | ||
