Why Blog a Documentary?

As much as it's about my documentary, this blog is about working independently on a long-term project. Motivation, productivity, learning-as-you-go, and fighting technology are challenges many people face today on projects like my documentary.

I cover some questions in a post here.

Hayek/Keynes rap video

An awesome case of economics + new media = entertaining education about economics. Maybe it's a little dorky, but we really have a limit in how good the medicine can taste:




I am on the Keynes side, and here's why: although Hayek and the austrians give an explanation of why recessions happen, they don't really have advice about what to do during the recession. They are the guys in the corner, shaking their head, saying, "We told you so." But Keynes is the doctor who pumps your stomach. Plus, even Keynes advocates raising taxes and cutting spending (causing a government surplus) during the boom. He's only a party boy during the recession.


Should I create a rap video about congestion pricing?
