in Economics, Video

“My Friend Sarah” is a three-minute video done by GMU Economics undergrads; it won a Fraser Institute award.  Enjoy!

  • Yeah, I went through that stage.

    Drawing graphs for people is a sure party pleaser.

    Sad how Sarah was brain washed by the now defunct Chicago School and its Washington consensus. I wonder how old that video is? Must have been made pre-Sept 2008. Well as long as her and her friends keep reading economics I'm sure they'd let her back in to the Progressive FDR Club.

    LOL! You're a master of sarcasm.
  • I'd like to know how he is able to post from an alternate reality.

    I loved when she yelled at the TV. It's like my house.
  • I really enjoyed it. But the opening lecturer got comparative advantage wrong!

    Yikes! Fix it!

    Oh man. I really have drawn supply and demand graphs for people. Ha. Nice video effort. Would have benefitted from a little more narrative. But solid.

    Oh my god, this is going up in my classroom Monday
  • If many beautiful women would draw supply/demand graphs, then the free-market revolution would begin.

    I set the beginning of creeping socialism to that time in the 60's when many beautiful women went to protests against the Vietnam war.
  • Socialism was popular among the intelligentsia in the '20s and '30s. From thence many a college professor came.

    I thought I was the only loser that drew supply and demand graphs on napkins...

    Funny, now if only my friends would do that.
  • We could use a "Economics in One Lesson" video. I'm really looking forward to seeing the materials from Marcatus.
