Introduction to Austrian Economics (2009 Video Series)
http://fee.org/intro-to-austrian-economics/
EDIT 12/17/2009: It appears the lecture series has relocated to a new URL:
http://fee.org/videos/?speaker=&semi...rian+Economics
EDIT 06/10/2010 The URL has moved, again. Here is the correct link:
http://fee.org/videos/?speaker=&seminar=Intro+to+Austrian+Economics
Unfortunately, the lectures are listed out of order. In the original link, I do know that, "Austrian Economics Today" appeared first, followed by, "Austrians and the Other Schools." Those two pieces should set beginning learners along the right path.
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
