Keynes vs. Hayek Rap

I'm delighted Cafe Hayek finally posted this on their website. For all they were talking it up, they sure kept it ... under raps: The Hayek and Keynes Rap Off.



Chorus: We've been going back and forth for a century
K: I want to steer markets
H: I want them set free
There's a boom and bust cycle and good reason to fear it
H: Blame low interest rates
K: No, it's the animal spirits.

Best line from Hayek:
In the long run, my friend, it's your theory that's dead.
So sorry there, buddy, if that sounds like invective.
Prepare to get schooled in my Austrian perspective.
