Free to choose! Great vids. I have these on DVD with the debates.

They are great vids, but this one is something else, it just has a tiny excerpt from friedman in it.

What’s with the dance music in the background? This has got to be the most innapropriate backing track that has ever been used, ever. Seriously, I had to check there wasn’t a pop-up that had opened in the background etc. Just bizzare! Anyway, great video. Really good!!!

Sorry to bang on, but listen at 4 mins in. There’s the original and rather appropriate background music in the clip, competing with the dance music resulting in this strange cacophony of oddness. What the Dickens possessed someone to pump out a ‘banger’ over the top of a serious video with already present backing?!?!? I can’t stop laughing. It’s just daft!

Yes, it’s good too. Now I’ve viewed it.
The still on the link is misleading. And I’m lazy.

I don’t know about the music choices, it’s not my video!

Very good, but not sure that the story of the origin of settlements and specialisation gels with, say, Jane Jacons’ ideas, not that I have finished “Economy of Cities” yet.
