Herzenberg on Pennsylvania Newsmakers

See Pennsylvania Policy Blog contributor and MIT-trained economist Stephen Herzenberg discuss Turnpike Privatization and the broken link between wages and productivity on Pennsylvania Newsmakers.

Our favorite line here at the blog was Stephen's response to criticism of public investments in the transportation, education, and health care:

"If you think you are going to deal [without making those investments] with globalization, with a decaying infrastructure, more than half of your workforce having only a high school education and with your companies bearing the burden of health care costs on their backs as they try to compete with China, I think you are smoking something."

Here is the link to watch the program Media Player Required.

Nice to see Stephen living up to our promise of being substantive and at times irreverent.
