F.A Hayek and John Maynard Keynes Rap Battle For America's Future

Since Republicans have taken the House and are already talking about combating Obama's Keynesian economic model with their own (somewhat more) Hayekian one, I figured it might be time to dust off this gem.  This video of  two economists dressing up as Hayek and Keynes and rap-battling is too bizarre not to pass on:



For those who don't know, John Maynard Keynes was FDR's main economic advisor during the Great Depression and advocated big government solutions like the stimulus we are using today.  F.A. Hayek was an Austrian economist who advocated free markets and laissez faire government.

The video is a bit buggy as an embedded object so you can also find the source video here:
