"Protests aren’t usually known for their great A/V set-ups, and ‘Occupy Wall Street’ is no exception. So they amplify messages using a cruder technology: repetition. In this video, Nobel-prize winning economist Jospeh Stiglitz and economic historian Jeff Madrick stopped by for a chat. The only problem? No one can hear them. The solution is, for the professors, a little unorthodox, but it looks like they’re having fun."

1. Stiglitz was really great. He explained what happened so well.

That was excellent. I hope everyone watches this video from beginning to end. The explanation about what happened to cause the economic crisis was so clearly explained.

I wish I could recommend this a million times.

Ezra Klein is surprised by the communication through repetition. He must not really be following what is going on at Occupy Wall Street.

It's good to see that, at least, he watched the video when famous people spoke. I would have expected more of Ezra Klein. Where has he been these past few weeks?
