Here’s C-Span’s quote concerning this fascinating 1 hour long video which is well worth watching, particularly in view of the growing popularity and interest in Hayek: “Milton Friedman sat down in 1994 to discuss…”The Road to Serfdom.” Mr. Friedman…describes its effect on the ever-changing political and social climates of the twentieth century. He discusses the book’s influence on the rise of socialism after World War II, the Reagan and Thatcher administrations in the 1980s and the shift in Eastern Europe from communism to capitalism in the 1990s.”

“This week’s (“Uncommon Knowledge”) video features two of the nation’s leading Constitutional scholars: Richard Epstein, professor of law at New York University, and John Yoo, professor at the University of California at Berkeley law school. Together, they use their expertise to dissect today’s biggest Constitutional issues, from Obamacare to California’s Proposition 8. Listen as they discuss the importance of the Supreme Court in deciding these and other political issues.” (Hat tip to Ken Coffel!)…
An interesting debate occurred yesterday at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) featuring congressman Paul Ryan and New York Times columnist David Brooks. Prior to viewing this video, I highly recommend reading the Ryan-Arthur Brooks (no relation to David Brooks) 9/13/2010 Wall Street Journal essay entitled “The Size of Government and the Choice This Fall”, and David Brooks’ response to the Ryan/Arthur Brooks essay entitled “The Day After Tomorrow”, as these essays provide context for the debate.
In this video interview, economist Art Laffer provides a very simple and easy to comprehend explanation concerning why it doesn’t make sense to pay people not to work and tax them if they do work!
Hat tip to Megan McArdle for posting the link to this YouTube video. Like Ms. McArdle, I would also love to hear the TSA’s side of the story and be able to to view the full surveillance video, including the 30 minutes which were apparently edited out by TSA prior to complying with the aggrieved passenger’s request for a copy of the surveillance video of the incident shown here.
