344. Who Decides How Much a Life Is Worth?

Freakonomics Radio

After every mass shooting or terrorist attack, victims and survivors receive a huge outpouring of support โ€” including a massive pool of compensation money. How should that money be allocated? We speak with the man whoโ€™s done that job after many tragedies, including 9/11. The hard part, it turns out, isnโ€™t attaching a dollar figure to each victim; the hard part is acknowledging that dollars canโ€™t heal the pain.
