A great discussion between two great economists...Paul Krugman and Robert Solow...
they are discussing the new book by Atkinson "Inequality."

It is long but SO worthwhile. I watched it in two half sessions. Two great liberal economists and their take on inequality, its causes and how to solve it, particularly given our political situation at this time.
Great stuff. And not nerdy at all. Just smart. And you don't have to know much about labor theory and the like...
