Podcast with Virginia Postrel on Kidney Donation

Talk about true altruism--today, we are talking with Virginia Postrel about her recent kidney donation to friend and author, Sally Satel. Virginia talks about the shortage of organ donations and discusses some remedies. Be sure and check out books by Virginia such as The Substance of Style and The Future and Its Enemies. I also highly recommend psychiatrist Sally Satel's book with Christina Hoff Sommers, One Nation Under Therapy : How the Helping Culture is Eroding Self-Reliance.
