That's the kind of people that shape our future folks! :)))

Historians will be puzzled that this approach to economics lasted as long as it did before economists with some brains picked up Keynes again and got back to actually doing useful work.

Why filming it on such a crappy angle? It's painful for the eye after watching the whole lecture...

This guy should definitely stop torturing people with his presentations and retire.

Folks, you're at LSE !

Who film this? Why not include the slide show?

I am sorry but this is garbage...

As someone who is a student, at home, listening to this and playing Battlefield 4, I can confirm from anecdotal evidence that younger people would rather play games (or in my case, as well as education on economics) than look for entry-level work (vast majority of opportunities in my areas) when they're over-qualified and under-valued in the jobs that they're likely to be working at.
No blame politically in this comment, but the reality that you imagine (people deliberately not taking shitty jobs as leisure is more fun) is confirmed by most people I know, primarily myself. -
The ShadowStats Alternate Unemployment Rate for March 2016 is 22.9%

5% unemployment is a total cruel joke. economists please get out of your ivory towers! demand destruction via outsourcing, education cost rising and to many people for too few jobs is destroying the mass consumption economy and business knows this very well. you cant cannibalize the us market forever and expect everything to be ok. btw real inflation is much higher than any govt numbers would accurately show. the fed trying to create inflation at 6% would be a furthering of the deflationary pressure as regular people would have even less to spend in the economy.
