The 3-part PBS documentary starts tonight. Should be good.
PBS synopsis of the three parts.
From TV Guide's synopsis for part 1:
<< Part 1 defines this ?battle of ideas? during the 20th century. The primary intellectual combatants: economists John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Von Hayek. Keynes saw the economy as a ?machine?; Von Hayek, as a force of nature. The Keynesian view prevailed for much of the century. Then the malaise called ?stagflation? arrived in the 1970s. The response: the election of Margaret Thatcher, then Ronald Reagan. >>
