Robert Heilbroner has appeared in a number of videos. 
 
The Foundation for Critical Thinking put out a 21st Century Video Series.  It is 
described as follows: 
 
In this 6-part series Robert Heilbroner, distinguished economist and author, and 
Richard Paul, Director of Research and Professional Development at the Center 
for Critical Thinking, discuss the economic prospects for the U.S. in the next 
century. Will the economic success of the U.S. be determined by our ability to 
cultivate a work force of critical thinkers, as Paul argues, or will resources, 
new technologies and the laws and politics governing production and world trade 
outweigh any foreseeable improvements in education? In pursuit of this 
fundamental question, Heilbroner and Paul address this and other closely related 
issues such as:  
 
The long and short range implications of global economic changes and the need 
for educational reform  
Common misperceptions about economics and the role of economists  
Robert Reich's and Lester Thurow's analysis of the U.S. economic future
