Better matches:

History vs. Keynes: Keynes loses every time in actual historical fact.

Milton Friedman vs. Keynes: Friedman clear winner in economic theory and practice.

Free Market Economy vs. Keynes' Economy: Keynes knocked out cold, carried out of the boxing ring.

With Keynes the Party Elites make out like the Bandits they are. Hyak the people fare well too.

Hyak the people fare well too.

History, the free market itself, Adam Smith, and Friedman are all on the same side: freedom of the people to choose for themselves creates the most successful, properpus economy the world has ever seen. I don't know who Hyak is but if he's anything like Friedman, he's also got the guns to knock out the Socialist Leftist elite and Keynes.

One would think after this last "throw down" Keynes would be laughed out of the ring.

These videos are way cool, and I'm glad you found another link to 'em (they've been on FR before).

Hopefully they can influence younger people to investigate economics and the historical result of economic policy earlier in their lives. If they do, the left will lose believers sooner.

John Maynard Keynes was a fool and anyone who believes his tripe is bigger fool than he was!

May I introduce Paul Krugman?

“In the video I caught the corner man for Hayek was Mises”

LOL is right - I missed that a few months ago when I first watched it so now I’ll have to watch it again!

Very apropos that Malthus was in Keynes corner.

Both icons of the extreme left and advocates of mass death and economic destruction

You were correct in posting, because this is a new and different article about the videos, and it is good to refresh this on the forum occasionally.
