Our friends at Marginal Revolution have a new video looking at four different theories of business cycles and what they might say about the Global Financial Crisis and the Great Recession of a decade ago.

A superb eight minute enrichment video for the economics classroom as Tyler Cowen provides a lively overview of Keynesian, Monetarist, real business cycle, and Austrian theories.
