What is the role of government in the economy

Anjum and Nadeem discuss the role fo the government in an economy arguing that this subject needs a lot of attention. Most people tend to criticize the market and consider government to have every role that they wish it to have. 

Is there away to think about the role of the government. What can we learn from economics an social science about the role of the government. 

A fascinating discussion venues. 

This important subject is left out of the classroom and training academies leaving many to take polar positions: leave all to market or all to government. The truth is very different and economic thinkers have interesting thoughts on the subject.  

All students and those interested in policy must listen to this episode and debate it.
