This should have 50 million views, the Production values on this are amazingly well done
The left owns Hollywood and Big Media and they spare no expense endlessly producing anti American and anti-Capitalism propaganda, in all formats, on all platforms, 24/7/365.

When someone like a Dinesh D’Souza or a Russ Robert’s produces high-quality “stories,” I think it would behoove us all, to at least look at it.

btw– Robert’s educational outreach efforts are funded in part by the very nice people at:

“We are what we do, not what we wish to be, not what we say we are, but what we do. And what we do here in Washington is rescue large Companies, large financial institutions, and rich people, from the consequences of their mistakes. When mistakes don’t cost you anything, you do more of them.”

Brand new from the professor, with a bit on spontaneous & emergent order.

The problem with I Pencil is it leads to a false conclusion because it shows the visible and ignores the invisible alternatives. The alternative being that if any of the world’s supply line stopped, we’d still have pencils because…

“Economics is the study of scarce resources that have alternate uses.” Which can only be understood when you also realize that everything is scarce and all have alternate uses. So if you only had the access of the resources in a limited area you’d still have writing instruments.

The false conclusion of some that watch I Pencil is it has to be done as described or more to the point, requires that which is described, when the actual point is it doesn’t.

Professor Roberts is also responsible for the Keynes Vs. Hayek rap-videos, and can be found weekly on his podcast “Econ Talk,” at http://econtalk.org/
