A Latter Day Domesday Book-with Dag Detter

23 February 2015: Tim Montgomerie, Senior Fellow at the Legatum Institute, discussed how to save $75 trillion with Dag Detter, author of the forthcoming 'The Public Wealth of Nations'.

Retire most of the redundant, self-serving bureaucrats and their clerical empires, if you really want to save money. The universities are good places to start, because our whole educational future depends on their being lean and efficient, i.e. the very opposite of what they have become over the past 30 to 40 years.
