ECONOMICS FOR REAL PEOPLE: The stories behind the rap!

image

Here’s the update on tonight’s meeting from our friends at the Uni of Auckland Economics Group:

Hello All,

This week we are going to be watching a couple of rap videos. Yes, that's correct, rap videos.

These videos look at the debate between two conflicting schools of economic thought. The rap is a “battle off” between Hayek and Keynes, proponents of the Austrian and Keynesian schools, respectively.

We will discuss the key differences between these schools of thought, some of their implications, and the story behind this historic debate.

    Date: Tonight, Thursday, 19 April
    Time: 6pm
    Where: Case Room 3, Level 0, Business School Building

So come along for an interesting discussion and (more importantly) some quality music.

Dancing is allowed.

Look forward to seeing you there.
