2/8/11 Commanding Heights Journal #1 The commanding heights documentary episode one was actually quite pleasing. I do enjoy documentaries‚ and this was one I really had no prior knowledge of. I believe it will help me see a different side of economics. What stood out to me the most in the film was how post world war one‚ they believed more government control meant better economic outcome.

Commanding Heights Reflection My initial thought to this video was “What am I supposed to be learning?” As time went on I finally came to realize that there were three main points; socialism‚ Keynes versus Hayek and right wing versus left wing.
