Economics Animated

I was very impressed by http://www.youtube.com/v/SA1f2MefsMM

This is as fine an expostion on economics as I have ever seen. Unfortunately the enthusuastic narrator speeds up his speech exactly where he should be slowest - in the more complicated later sections. This leaves me with the impression, unfortunately, that some hype is involved in his exposition. References for his assertions are lacking. Too much righteous indignation comes through. He resents that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. That this is, indeed, the case is his thesis and he certainly seems to prove it masterfully - clearly, intelligently and completely.

What is truly wonderful about the presentation is its clarity. Arnold's symbolic representations of ideas is the work of a master intellect. He makes a great contribution to thought exposition.

The video is part of a series which can be accessed at

Below is the first of this remarkable Lee Arnold series and his Ecolanguage invention.
