Duncan Foley, who taught me advanced microeconomics and mathematics, and in my opinion the best economic educator around, gives a lecture on the history of economic thought in his development.

You can watch the lecture here, but you may need to download a silverlight plugin. It's well worth your time.

Foley's latest book, Adam's Fallacy, is here.

One Response to “Duncan Foley on History of Economic Thought”

    Just to say hello, and go yey, Duncan was really good in that talk, and even more so at the later dinner where I admit to cornering him, and being taught a thing or two about micro-foundations.

    Was a good conference all around, and I'd encourage anyone to have a look at the History of Economics Society's conference and the papers - who knows - you might enjoy reading about weapon manufacturing economists (Judy Klein), Why Judas would never have taken only 30 pieces of silver (David Levy & Sandra Peart) or maybe just have a look at where it all came from.
