Great Expectations
In Great Expectations (Chapter 7), Charles Dickens allows his character Pip to write
the following letter to Joe:
"MI DEER JO i OPE U R gRWrTE WELL i OpE i SHAL soN B

Clinton versus Obama: who got it right on health care?
In the U.S. fight for the Democratic presidential nomination, health care is an important issue.
Senator Hillary Clinton proposes mandatory insurance on grounds of fairness and efficiency.
Senator Barack Obama claims that a mandate could hurt middle-class
families who cannot afford insurance (source: The New York Times, February 23, 2008).
Health insurance is a tricky issue indeed.
But Chapter 13 of Information Economics may be a good point of departure.
