Who Gets What - and Why by Alvin E. Roth is an economics book exploring how market design and matching systems allocate resources in situations where monetary price alone does not clear the market. On an episode of Freakonomics Radio titled Make Me a Match, originally released on May 25, 2023, host Stephen Dubner explored the fascinating mechanics of matching markets. During the narration of the episode, Stephen Dubner introduced and discussed the work of economist Al Roth. He informed the listening audience that Al Roth had authored a new and truly wonderful book entitled Who Gets What - and Why: The New Economics of Matchmaking and Market Design. The host utilized the publication to frame the episode's central exploration of how various non-traditional markets operate, from organ transplants and medical residency placements to school choice systems. By highlighting the book, the podcast underscored the practical applications of economic theory and game design in solving complex human allocation challenges where traditional pricing mechanisms are absent or ineffective.
