Florida governor Rick Scott is proposing a tiered pricing plan for the state’s colleges and universities that would cut tuition for majors in high-demand fields like science and engineering but charge more for majors in lower-demand subjects such as English and history.

Guest: Alex Tabarrok, Economics Professor, George Mason University and the author of Launching the Innovation Renaissance
