EconStories featured on C-Span’s Q&A

This Sunday, June 26th (tonight) at 8pm eastern, 7pm central time and then again at 11/10c, Russ Roberts and John Papola will be appearing on C-Span’s “Q&A” program for a one hour discussion about EconStories.tv and our economic rap videos. Throughout the conversation, we walk section-by-section through “Fight of the Century” to delve into the ideas, intentions and backstory behind the production. The video will be posted here as soon as it becomes available online. Until then, tune in tonight and get more of the story behind EconStories.

     I love this! These guys are so unlikely- brilliant! This is like the funniest thing I have ever seen. Thank you for being so persistent, JP.

    Great work!  These things should be taught in 8th grade, but even most college grads don’t get it.

    This program was great. I let my friends both personally and in business know about your videos. In the interview on c-span you wondered what your next project would be. How about entitelments or health care or taking $$$ out our election process or even parental choice in schools(as shown in “Waiting for Superman) ?
    Keep up your fine and encouraging work.   Ed

    What an excellent introduction to your work.  Thank you.  I managed to catch most of the program and enjoyed it very much.  One question though, in a macro-economic environment what effect would a tax plan like the “Fairtax” have on our economy?

    Please note
    that my book Keynes Hayek: The Clash That Shaped Modern Economics is published
    by W.W.Norton in October.

    Professor
    John B.Taylor of Stanford and the Hoover Institution says that: “Nicholas
    Wapshott brings the Keynes-Hayek fight of the 20th century back to life, making
    the clash both entertaining and highly relevant for understanding economic
    crises of the 21st century.”

    The CSPAN interview was outstanding.  Mr. Papola came across as intensely passionate about the project (and about his economic education), and Professor Roberts was simply brilliant.  This was a real _discussion_ about important issues and the process which has brought them to light in our impoverished culture.  Congratulations.
