Thank you for liking the second episode! In this episode, I discuss the unintended consequences through examples of the cobra control program of colonial India, Four Pests Control Campaign of China, Child Labour Ban, consequences of seat belt laws, consequences of Hoy De Circula program of Mexico City, Kathmandu's taxi problem, and the Barbara Streisand Effect. Happy listening!
