Quote of the Day: Markets Solving Organ Shortage

"Thousands of people die each year for lack of a healthy kidney, while hundreds of millions walk around with spare kidneys they’re unlikely to need. That’s nuts and most people can probably see that it’s nuts. For some reason, most of those people seem reluctant to embrace the one mechanism — the market — that can actually solve this kind of problem."

~Economist Steven Landsburg talking to Freakonomics blogger Steven Dubner
