keynes vs. hayek

at 01/26/10 5:08AM
this is one of the geekiest yet most educational things i've seen in a really long time. i think it does a really great job of laying out the main aspects of the competing economic theories of j.m. keynes and f.a. hayek.

it's a rap battle:



this was a collaboration between a cable tv producer and russ roberts, who does the excellent econtalk podcast.

    That is cool.

    So if I break it down,
    it's save versus spend,
    driving free or a guiding G.
    And the man at the top
    ain't got a real clue;
    where it's coming from
    is an econ school.

    I heard the story about this on my way home yesterday. I'm glad you reminded me to check it out. That was pretty impressive AND educational! I knew about Keynes, but didn't realize Hayek's perspective - at least not with his name associated.

    How do I get my email address off of my page? I tried erasing it but that didn't work, it said I had an incorrect password... I have been getting inappropiate emails because of it, so I need it to be gone ASAP.

    Mostly great, until the use of the phrase "it's a wrap" ruined it!
