These videos are so great! I use them in all my macroeconomics courses. I was very fortunate to have had Prof. Russ Roberts, one of the writers of the series, as one of my grad. school professors at George Mason University (along with Walter Williams and many other greats among Austrian/ free-market economics).

If you haven't read Russ Robert's piece on the housing crisis, I highly recommend it as well:

Also, Boettke (another fantastic George Mason professor) and Horwitz' piece on the housing crisis is great (it's shorter and very readable by the layman):

I was really disappointed that GMU didn't offer a Masters in Economics online (I'm from IL). I would've enrolled in a heartbeat! I'm almost finished at Northern Illinois University, which has a couple Austrian sympathizers in the ECON faculty, but no real advocates. I've been searching for grad schools with an Austrian bent, but they're hard to come by in the U.S.
