Putting Faces to a Name

This is an interesting video of a conference of economics bloggers. I enjoy the video because it lets me put faces to some of the names I've encountered in my reading. What I don't like is that this is a mostly right wing group of people, so the portion where the foundation talks about its "survey results" are very skewed. You ask a bunch of right wingers what they want to do and it will be "fix banks", "cut corporate taxes", "cut payroll taxes", etc. These are not the things that most people would think of and they are certainly not the things that most left wing economists think are critical. So, if you ignore the propaganda, this video is fun because it lets you meet some names that you may have heard of and never seen:
