Probably the most accurate program about economics I've ever watched.

Unfortunately you can only view it if you live in the UK (but we can't watch Hulu stuff).

There will be 10 statist documentaries for this documentary so the BBC balances the scales to it's usual propaganda I bet. :P

Haven't watched it yes but I will...

The documentary was okay. Not all about free markets through and through. It actually had examples of manufacturing for the air force.

In a free market, everyone with money will get products.  Even air forces :p

But the UK RAF is not part of a free market.

But still it's not really a problem. It's point was to show that people in Britain can make things... Which I knew already.
