Title: Masters of Money BBC2
Post by: harnett on September 20, 2012, 14:48:54 GMT

A TV series, with help from the Open University, about three economic thinkers from the past who have something interesting to tell us about the financial crisis and how to get past it: Friedrich Hayek, Karl Marx and, in this link, Keynes.

The Open University has also developed 6 short videos (60 seconds each) on economic terms that are worth a quick look:

1. The Invisible Hand
2. The Paradox Of Thrift
3. The Phillips Curve
4. The Principle Of Comparative Advantage
5. The Impossible Trinity
6. Rational Choice Theory

Won't be able to see the Masters of Money programmes unless they use a proxy UK server or use you tube! - search masters of money on you tube and enjoy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rIs5YF5gqw  is the first one on Keynes.  The 60 second videos are available to all as are on the open university website.
