[Music Video] Fight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek Round Two

Another rap take on current affairs and the economy – for my fellow Econ. major nerds only (probably….):

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Great Recession ended almost two years ago, in the summer of 2009. But we’re all uneasy. Job growth has been disappointing. The recovery seems fragile. Where should we head from here? Is that question even meaningful? Can the government steer the economy or have past attempts helped create the mess we’re still in.

John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek never agreed on the answers to these questions and they still don’t. Let’s listen to the greats. See Keynes and Hayek throwing down in “Fight of the Century”.

[Video] Sheen’s Korner: Charlie Sheen’s Debut Ustream Broadcast

“You’re either in Sheen’s Korner or you’re with the trolls….”

Did you miss the latest chapter in what my boy, McLean has termed the ‘slo-mo car crash’ of Charlie Sheen’s career life?

Announced only tonight (I think), this could have been web2.0 genius but instead the ‘Sheen’s Korner’ show was just embarrassing, sad and maybe worst of all, kind of boring! His entourage is pathetic too! BTW: Simon Rex??! Formerly of MTV Simon Rex??! This train wreck might have just jumped the shark?
