A Talmudic Saint Takes on Cost/Benefit Analysis
A Talmudic Commentary on Market Interventions
- Saturday 4:30 PM–5:45 PM Windwood
Tractate Ta'anit of the Babylonian Talmud portrays a series of Jewish "saints". One of these, R. Huna, had sufficient wealth to undertake market interventions, and he shows the hazards of trying to help the poor by intervening in markets. As our government confronts the current "trillion dollar meltdown", a saintly approach to the hazards of market intervention seems particularly timely.
