The Kochtopus strikes again, and FSU has struck a Faustian bargain.
I found this quote from the dean to be almost Orwellian:
"Bruce Benson, chairman of FSU's economics department, said that of his staff of 30, six, including himself, would fall into Koch's free-market camp.
"The Kochs find, as I do, that a lot of regulation is actually detrimental and they're convinced markets work relatively well when left alone," he said."
He's been living under a rock apparently.
The free market and intelligent regulation are not incompatible.
