The Economists new clothes

Do you agree with Keynes and wish that economists were “as useful as dentists”?
This wide ranging documentary explores the idea that macro-economics is essentially flawed without the inclusion of dynamic financial institutions and the greed of individuals and corporations. With contributions from leading economists the programme takes us through classical economics, Keynesian economics and asks us if today’s economics should be a combination of behavioural economics and economic history.
