Mark Blyth: Austerity -- The History of a Dangerous Idea

[unrepentant progress]

If you watch one thing this week, then watch this lecture by political economist, and my favorite capitalist, Mark Blyth. The bits about the pre-WWII Japanese and German economies are particularly interesting.

1. Excellent Presentation on Economic History!

Thanks!

2. I was listening to this while moving around and missed some parts, but the idea that this man

left me with is that the system is rigged and with debt.

3. Aye

All this has happened before, and will happen again. It's the same bad idea we keep repeating. Well, when I say we, I mean the rich. Blyth however is much more hopeful than I am.
