Economics Commanding Heights Discussion

Fear the Boom and Bust: A Discussion of the Economic Theories of John Maynard Keynes and Freidrich Von Hayek

Who is Right: Hayek or Keynes?

I will offer a live class at 1:00 pm MT on Tue, 5-13 in order to go over the following topic: A Discussion of the Economic Theories of J.M. Keynes and A.F. Hayek. In units 4 and 5 I require you to watch the Commanding Heights series, a group of 3 documentaries that explain the economic theories of the two most important economists of the 20th century and that describes the economic policies of all the major governments.

In this live class, we'll be discussing these theories and films, but we'll do it in a fun way: We'll watch a "rap anthem" where Keynes and Hayek battle it out, and then we'll discuss whether Keynes or Hayek was right and why. This should be both fun and enlightening. To get into the class, please click the following link: Trehal's Live Office/Classroom.  See you in class!
