Sit back for a moment and read the title of this blog post again. Let it sink in.

A new video just released by Econstories.tv, a project of The Mercatus Center, explores the basis of both Hayek and Keynes economic theories in classic west coast rap style. Co-written by Russ Roberts, also host of the EconTalk podcast, this video is attempting something difficult: Finding ways to expose a new audience to the philosophy of free markets.
