This is the second music video depicting the century long debate between the economic theories of John Maynard Keynes & Friedrich Hayek.

Nice to see media being used to reach out to young people. Hopefully they will see how central planning and spending aren't the only answers.

My money is on Hayek.

Well one thing Salma and Keynes have in common, they both like men.

Keynes was a eugenist. He was a director and vice-president of the Eugenics Society. His nephew William Keynes was the son of Margaret Darwin, granddaughter of Charles Darwin. See here.

Students in this generation are waking up to how Keynes was not only wrong... But pretty dumb. They aren't just accepting Keynes as the only way.

That is why efforts like this to reach even more of them are important.

People like Keynes and Klugman (German Klug = clever) are actually very clever, but perhaps not so wise. The world, including academia, is more likely to reward and be attracted to cleverness than wisdom. Calvin Colidge and George Washington were wise, Lincoln was both wise and clever, Clinton was clever and in a perverse way, wise, but he was immature and acted impulsively in his personal life. Clinton may have been the most gifted person ever to serve as the President, but he was intellectually shallow and morally hollow.

Obama, otoh, is a nitwit.
