Hayek vs. Keynes Rap Video II

First performed publicly last week in New York at The Economist‘s conference, The Buttonwood Gathering, here is the sequel to the sensational rap video pitting the economic ideas of Austrian School economist F.A. Hayek against those of interventionist John M. Keynes. The original video, “Fear the Boom and Bust,” has had more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and is extremely timely in presenting the Keynesian economic theory behind the gigantic Bush and Obama stimulus and bailout measures and the Austrian School critique and defense of free markets.
