Brilliant summary. Yet, an inclusion of Marx's and some critical perspectives will make this video comprehensive

[@siminnouri9306]

Why the program uncomfortable to mention Marx .

You missed Marx and Hayek...

[@bits.and_pieces]

so, you don't think Marks as an economist?

Do one on geography

[@davidy2130]

No Hayek?

[@mathiasteixeira3298]

I agree with everyone else in this comment section. A video about economics discussing the evolution of the discipline without a single mention to Karl Marx makes absolutely no sense.

[@sandeepvk]

You missed a major figure - Friedrich Hayek

[@nikoskoutsilieris6087]
