Keynes vs Hayek FIGHT!

[rowyn]

This is an awesome video: Keynes and Hayek (two of the greatest minds in economics from the 20th century) in a rap performance about their competing economic models. No, really, it's better than it sounds. OK, so I'm an economics nerd but STILL. It's also surprisingly informative, serving as a good introduction to both philosophies, and pretty well-balanced. Give it a listen. :)

Watch on YouTube

Yes, it's excellent! I've read a lot of von Mises, Hayek, and some other Austrian school influences and the video does a great job.

This seems to be the first one:

Yes! I saw that one too -- I love the "party's over, it's time to sober up" line -- but I liked the second one better. And didn't want to embed two and get the 'too long, didn't watch" phenomenon. I almost didn't watch this at all, since I'm not a big fan of videos. I'm glad that I did!
