I showed you the video "Welfare a la carte" which is a case study on Norway's "womb to the tomb" economics ("cradle to the grave" economics). You should have taken notes on this video in your course books on the backside of page 81. Next, I started my lecture on "The Evolution of Modern Liberalism", which I will continue tomorrow.
