Thanks for making these great videos! Glad to see you are doing well with
your MAEEE degree!
Oh my gosh, his voice is panned all the way to the left, and I’m wearing
headphones. I jumped because I thought there was someone talking to me.
absolutely outstanding. extreamly well done.
You are awesome! Keep up the good work!
wow! this is good. Didn’t really thought that econs and starwars can
connect!
Fantastic! Finally, an interesting economics video.
Not really. History doesn’t really show whether the free market is superior
to central planning. If we just look from an economic aspect, the 5-year
plans (ignoring the insurmountable toll of human suffering they caused)
caused faster economic growth than the free market achieved, and central
planning under FDR did a lot to allieviate unemployment during the Great
Depression. The history doesn’t tell us that either free-market capitalism
or central-planning is better, just which will work (maybe) is different
situations. Also when was the Empire impeding free trade?
I m studing economics and like star wars now even more
PS :classic trilogy rules!
Perfect video to interest today’s students to in learning the basic
concepts.
I got the perfect film for oligopoly — “Tucker: The Man and His Dream”
(1988).
Nice episode, when will next episode be up?
I see what you did there, superb idea with connecting movies to Econ.
