Commanding Heights Vol. 1: The Battle of Ideas
Based on Daniel Yergin's bestseller, this informative PBS series presents an in-depth analysis of America's role in the new worldwide economy. Volume 1 identifies how the world, for much of the 20th century, first moved toward more government control then began to move away. Two personalities stand out - John Maynard Keys, whose ideas on government intervention dominated much of the 20th century, and Freidrich Von Hayek, whose free-market ideas were largely ignored until the economic crisis of the 1970s forced politicians to rediscover them. See also 'Vol. 2 The Agony of Reform' and 'Vol. 3 The New Rules of the Game'.
