What can economists contribute to public policy?

What can economists contribute to the making of good public policy? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with noted economist Dean Baker, author of Taking Economics Seriously. He tackles entrenched beliefs about bank regulation and health care by asking "What would policy look like if we took basic principles of mainstream economics seriously and applied them consistently?"

Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Do you think economists could help save our economy--if they were taken seriously? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guest:
Dean Baker--Co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C. and author of Taking Economics Seriously
