Amanda Palmer: The art of asking

One word: Inspiring

Review Commanding Heights Episode 1: The Battle of Idea


When you have nothing to blog about, just post your ... work(?)

I know this is silly, but Commanding Heights is worth watching. To sum it up (if you are bored with my "what's-this-nonesense" writing), the first episode is about the battle of ideas about planned economy by John Mayard Keynes and market-based economy by Friederick von Hayek. It's amazing how economists and politicians are closely related, seeing that economist ideas won't be implemented without politicians who believe in their ideas.

Commanding Heights
