Easy Economics
Here is a Google talk in the “authors@Google” series, about his book, The Economic Naturalist: In Search of Explanations for Everyday Enigmas, by American economist, Professor Robert Frank of Cornell University.
Robert Frank has written two books with the current head of the “Fed”, Ben Bernanke.
If you always wished you understood just a little more about economics but thought it was too hard and too dry, then this will knock your socks off. It’s very entertaining. It’s one of those amazing paradoxes that the country that throws up some of the most ignorant people (and politicians) in the world also values its creative thinkers so highly and nurtures them so well, with series like @Google and TED [Technology Entertainment Design].
The video is about 54 minutes, so grab a coffee or a red, get comfortable and enjoy.
