For my 300th thread, I am posting a digitized version of a 12-minute 16mm black and white educational film on the American economy. Dr. Clifton L. Ganus, future president of Harding College, now Harding University, contrasts the American approach to free market capitalism with British-style socialism and Soviet Communism.

I watched this same movie in a junior high school American History class six decades ago.
