  • major props for posting this vid!  :-D

  • His book is confusing and he seems to leave out bits or skip over things and jump to (seemingly) unjustified conclusions. For all I've read about the book, he apparently does a good job of explaining things, but not from what I've read. I'm trying to get through it and understand it, I just wish someone could explain the missing bits to me.

  • Economics is a scam ... It is easy but the objective is self serving.

  • A book which should be required reading in school

  • This book is da shizel mo zizzle in da economic hizzle, yo.

  • Everything sounds really wise and profound in an old timey recording. It's too bad this guy's a moron. It's really funny how people seem to think that far right economics are not popular... look dude, neo-liberalism is practically cemented into today's political culture. To continue to pretend that Liberal economists have been dominating and ruining the long-term is a lie as they haven't been in power or in force nearly long enough to do so.

  • @Tommerman89 the economists were only the advisers to politicians who still rule and the laws they sign in persist on after them.

  • @Ravengaurd6 I agree emphasizing corporations and interest groups lobbying these crooks today. The politicians job is to get re-elected. Most people vote for who makes the best promise.

    There are many roles in the machine dividing labor, and politicians choose advisers that are in their interest & interest corporate buddies supporting and lobbying them. They don't write much less read some of the bills that become law.

    I wish we could get the gvmt out the business of doing business.

  • @Tommerman89 Wow. You truly are a fucking......MORON!

  • lol, the tiger woods pic made me do a spit-take!

  • Friedman is a good economist who sees what's beyond the seen and unseen? LibertyPen(Uploader) you really need to go beyond what's see of Friedman(libertarianism) to the unseen(his economics). Friedman's economics believes low interest rates are good for the economy, they do not see the consequences of this action in other timeframes.

    If Keynes is a master of looking only at one group and not the other groups, Friedman mastered the art of looking only at one timeframe & not the other timeframes.

  • @prashantpawar

    Thank you for not being stupid. 

  • I watched the first half of the video and it has absolutely no economics.... disappointing since he was such a brilliant economist.

  • where did you get this at? I'd love to hear him red his entire book, and not just the first chapter or two.

  • @FoxPMcCloud You can get the entire audiobook at audible.com that you can download directly to your iPod or smartphone. It is not read by him, although it is very well narrated. I plan to post excerpts of it shortly. Please subscribe to my channel and you will be notified when I do.

  • @AudibleSuperfan

    interesting, but it's not free =p

  • This was the best book I'ver read. No joke.

  • @DaveDoggOwns agreed, almost. 2nd best. but i've read many many books

  • Nice little echo chamber in the comments here. @hrosemd - "Nice job with the vid". No. Nice job of fail. All this video is, is a stab @ those currently in power, therein showing the partisan views of the individual who put the video together, & completely ignoring the damage done by those in power b4 the current crowd. I'd have given the editor more credit if they had equally shown Regan and George W. Bush in their video. Most libertarians will simply run 2 the Republican party when she calls.

  • @hamiltonz Hazlitt would have been every bit as disgusted with the Republicans as you are. In fact, probably more. Ever listened to Tom Woods? Jeffrey Tucker? The Austrian libertarians hate the Republicans every bit as much as they hate the Democrats.

  • I seem to like almost every video that you upload :)

    Keep up the great work.

  • I read this book several months ago. Nice book ^.^

  • hmmm

  • Great job. Hazlitt's wisdom is timeless, like Bastiat, Schumpeter & many others. Good match-up w/current picks.

  • Nice video about an excellent book.

  • "the good economist... the bad economist... the good economist... the bad economist" Awesome pics :D

  • Every video you post is excellent. This is no exception. Send these videos to the White House fast!

  • The generation of the "Great Depression saved tons of money.

    Two & three Generations later the wealth is GONE, thanks to drugs, alcohol and Indian Casinos.

  • This guy was the single greatest endeavored critic of Keynes. I'm almost done with "The Failure of New Economics" and it's almost laughable how well he eviscerates Keynesian terminology and theory. As Hazlitt said on Keynes' General Theory, "what's original isn't right and what's right isn't new." Idk a harsher way to critique a theory.

  • Keynesian Economics = Zero Sum Game

  • Everyone should read his book Economics In One lesson free at MisesDOTorg

  • This guy's book is brilliant! Thanks for posting the video. I hope it will invite more people to read it.

    By the way, is there an audio book out there, or do we have just this bit made for the video? I think it would be of much use to have other videos illustrating the other instances of the broken window fallacy, I mean the other chapters of his book.

  • @FightBadIdeas  i'm pretty sure all of the audio is available on youtube, most of it atleast, just search the title.

  • @MrBWB I just did that, but I don't see many parts of it available; and the audio seems to be done with some kind of software, it doesn't sound natural unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though.

  • Don Juan Woody! Hilarious!

  • Wow, I've never heard a recording of Hazlitt. I'm not suprised by his divination.

  • Hey ...let's break everyone's window and get this economy moving!

  • brilliant...thanks for uploading.

  • Nice job with the vid. Great stuff. THE essential text.

  • my favorite book!

  • @MrBWB and for more than just the words inside the cover.

  • Keynes was wrong!!!

  • @eagleeye1975 More importantly, Keynes was an idiot who is today taught to mushheads by other idiots, usually at large gov't universities, though you can sometimes find them at politically correct universities like Harvard & Stanford.

    The real tragedy is this posting has had only 4,500 views.

  • @vince33x

    You're a fucking retard. That's all.

  • @Tommerman89 A brilliant argument...if you're a moron.

  • @vince33x you should know vince, you're a moron. I hope everyone here gets to see what a bigot and a moron you really are.

  • @eagleeye1975

    Keynes is *still* wrong.

  • @eagleeye1975

    Hey wasn't and the historical and recent examples prove this. Stop being stupid. Stop ignoring evidence.

  • @eagleeye1975 ... Keynes was 100% right. The USA needs to tax the bloodsuckers and benefit the poor.

  • @mba2ceo lulz... stop that.

    Milton Friedman: Why soaking the rich won't work.

    Milton Friedman - Redistribution of Wealth

    Milton Friedman - The Robin Hood Myth

    etc. etc. etc.

    In the end, the rich get the honest working people at the bottom to pay for it all.

  • @mba2ceo

    LOLOLOL gtfoh

  • DAM WHAT A FUCKING PROPHET
