This week, Tyler Cowen of the Marginal Revolutions blog and Jon Irons of the Argmax.com blog will be debating various economics issues over at the Economics page of the on-line Wall Street Journal, WSJ.com. The Journal page is usually gated for use of paying customers only, but for this week it is open to all visitors.
The first discussion concerns social security privatization. On Tuesday comes outsourcing and trade, followed by the future of Europe and China. Tyler is far more persuasive in the first installment on Social Security, in which Mr. Irons largely ignores the costs of the current Social Security system while waxing eloquent about its hard to value benefits.
Check it the debate this week as it should be interesting.
