The Centuries-Old Rap Battle Rages On

Ok ok. I know the nerd factor of this video is over the top; I get that. But after years of reading from different sides of the global economic debate we find ourselves in (should the government attempt to mediate the economy, and if so, how?), it's exciting and fun to see them displayed as a rap battle with such brilliant execution.

This is the second video in a series by EconStories.TV featuring the competing ideas of historic economists John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich von Hayek (who the creators obviously favor). Here's the first. I'd recommend skipping to 1:30 to get straight to it.

  1. This video was brilliant! I loved this line. Such a burn!


    The economy's us,
    we don't need a mechanic.
    put away the wrenches,
    the economy's organic.
