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
