    Default Introduction to Austrian Economics

    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=&semi...rian+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,
    Omphfullas Zamboni

    It doesn't end with this election cycle. Commit to long term change, and you won't see all the GOP state convention shenanigans as the end of the Ron Paul Revolution--but as the end of the neocon control of the GOP, (and the beginning of the Ron Paul Revolution). Hang in there for another year or so, and you'll start to see some absolutely amazing results for all of our efforts. ~Ninja Homer

    If you look on the main page they have intermediate and advanced videos too. I haven't watched them yet but I plan on doing it eventually. I met the president of FEE last week and he's a really good guy who's very passionate about liberty. Most people here probably look to the Mises Institute first but FEE is a great resource too.

    I have watched all the Youtube videos of the Mises Institute and they should do the same as this guys. Put some of the videos in form of a lesson.

    Agreed. If I knew anything about economics, I would organize some links to Mises videos into a lesson/curriculum and post it here.
