- What Would Ben Stein Do?
- From
- Prime Time Radio
First, Ben Stein would never marry someone who refused to work or had a drug problem. He would not arrive late to an appointment. Those would be horrendous choices. He treats his wife as the most important person in the world. He's fairly certain he wouldn't pierce any part of his face. In his new book, "What Would Ben Stein Do", he discusses a wide range of topics including politics and marriage. Mr. Stein applies his knowledge and wisdom from his days as a speechwriter for Richard Nixon, to his tough relationship with his mother as he tackles the challenges of modern life.
Then, Robert Frank uses a wide variety of analogies, including the antlers of a Bull Elk and mandatory helmet rules for hockey players, to explain why what is good for one is not always good for all. He then goes on to explain why competitive spending can lead to large-scale problems in a national economy and suggests small unobtrusive changes in taxation policy that could save billions of dollars in his book, "Darwin Economics".
Ben Stein and Robert Frank, this week on Prime Time Radio.
