I, Pencil: The Movie
I, Pencil
A short film from the Competitive Enterprise Institute adapting Leonard Read's 1958 essay I, Pencil, showing how no one person knows how to make a pencil and how many people cooperate without central planning.
HN recommends it as a quick video version of the classic essay on specialization and economic interdependence.
