This year Economy Nobel prize lectures (action begins at about 10:00)
The lecture by Thomas Sargent is particularly interesting in connection to the sovereign debt crisis and the analogy between the European Union today and the United States in its beginning. Nicely, Sargent goes into great pains in order to distance himself from either Republican or Democrat ideology when discussing the role of the government debt and the bailouts of states and companies by the Federal government.
The lecture by Christopher Sims is more technical, but will probably ring a few bells with those who are familiar with statistics or Monte-Carlo methods.
