Oh, he made a video on it? That's interesting.
Right now the link you gave gives a 'This video has been removed by the user'.
Oh, how odd. The video no longer appears on his channel. It must have been taken down. That's quite bizarre. This literally happened about a half hour after I sent my message. Surely, the video wasn't taken down because of my message or comments (although my ego would like to think it was). Well, I guess we don't have to worry about this. Weird.
I imagine he got more critical responses and decided to (attempt to) redo it.

I'm sure that's what happened. Great catch, SirTenenbaum!
At least it points to Khan being interested in presenting accurate information. But I love how quickly the takedown took place. That just shows how quick the backlash response was from the Austrian community.
Somebody snagged it while it was up and reposted it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ami32DSMpJM
Indeed, quite a few misconceptions.
Khan commented to someone who asked him why he took it down. His reply was
Thought it would be better to build up to it. Also separate the conversation of the weaknesses of central banks and fractional reserve banking from the explanation of the Austrian Business Cycle Theory.

I'm afraid I don't understand Kahn's explantaion. :/
(And yeah, it's awesome how quick the takedown was. There must be a lot of Austrians out there! Woohoo!)
Sounds like he just got embarassed. Anyways, the primary weakness of central banks lies within the ABCT, so what good is it to seperate the topics.

I tried to watch the video using that link and got a face with this message:

Sorry about that.
If I had a cake and ate it, it can be concluded that I do not have it anymore. HHH
I think he took it down under the impression that Khan is going to do a video series that does a better job representing the ABCT.
There were several comments that were telling this guy to take it down since it was not accurate (which is why Khan took the video down in the first place).
That is my take on the situation.
Yeah, that's what happens when someone posts something that someone else doesn't like...and would rather not have on youtube. They just make a couple of copyright claims and the video gets pulled...and sometimes the account gets blocked altogether.
It's a fairly easy form of censorship. That's why you tend to see mirrors for controversial videos.
I'm just disappointed that I didn't get to see it.
You know what they say...once it's out there, it's out there forever. Ignoramus can't hide from this one.
Nicely done, John James! Well, he was right when he said that he was sure he was mispronouncing "Mises." He sounds like he read the first chapter of Human Action and then just started saying "human actors" here and there to make it sound like he knew what he was talking about. I'm wondering if there will be a video critque released soon by anyone so willing?
I doubt he even opened Human Action. Sounds to me like he just heard a few things hear and there, and then extrapolated on his own to fill in the holes. At most, maybe he read a Wikipedia entry or two and the 2 paragraphs-worth of info compiled from a locker full of mainstream textbooks.
As far as a critique, I don't really see a need, as evidently comments were all it took, and he almost immediately took the video down. Again, as mentioned earlier, he claims it was a timing thing, and he took it down because he "thought it would be better to build up to it"...but I'd bet you anything that video will never get re-uploaded to that Khan account. He'll redo it for sure. Hell, he might even read an actual Austrian source before making it this time!
KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
