Do Unions Really Raise Wages? (On the Other Hand Ep. 17)

Based on Chapter Nineteen of Henry Hazlitt's classic work, Economics in One Lesson, Episode 17 of the series 'On The Other Hand' explores Hazlitt's argument that unions can raise wages for some groups in the short run, but not for all groups in the long run.

This series of 18 short videos (being released one-per-week from May 2011) was produced in collaboration with Access Communications in Regina.
