Our friends over at econ stories who produced an earlier rap battle between John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek, have now made a second video of rapping economists  

 

THe first video focused more the general theories of Keynes and Hayek, this one focuses on more specific questions about what sorts of policies should be taken by the government. 

OBJECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you preface everything you say with the phrase 'studies have shown...' people will believe anything you say no matter how ridiculous. Studies have shown this works 87.64% of the time.

Would Keynsians agree this is a fair representation of his views, or would they complain it's biased? Just wondering since the Keynsian side presented here seems to me awfully simpletonlike to an almost childish degree,  whereas the Hayekian view seems much more sophisticated and has a non-intuitive appeal.

@ Broken Window

it really depends on your point of view.. here is a quick critique of the vid, sympathetic to the Keynesian side : http://factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.com/2011/04/fight-of-century.html
