On October 22, the Ludwig Von Mises Institute of Canada and the Institute for Liberal Studies put on a day long conference on Austrian economics and free banking – a school of economic thought advocating liberty in monetary policy in stark contrast to failed establishment ‘Keynesian’ economics. These are a few of the highlights. For more info and to watch more video from the day, visit http://mises.ca and the Mises Institute of Canada Vimeo channel.

If you’re looking for a more musical introduction to this fundamental economic schism (and who isn’t?) you’re referred to the following Keynes vs Hayek throwdown from EconStories.tv, an engaging, accessible – and funny – resource.
