Here is a promotional video for the recent Kilkenomics festival in Kilkenny Ireland. It brings together top economists and comedians to discuss the perils of the world economy – the debt crisis, the euro, quantitative easing, the environment etc. The clip below shows some of the highlights from last year’s festival – very amusing. Includes Jeffrey Sachs of the Earth Institute Columbia University, Fintan O’Toole author of Ship of Fools and Enough is Enough, Will Hutton of The Guardian and a range of comedians.
