In the late 1980s, philosopher George Walsh gave this six-hour course on Judaism and Christianity. With his characteristic erudition and humor, he covers the history and ideas of these two uber-influential religions.  How did the most influential religion of all time spring out of the faith of a weak people on the periphery of the civilized world?  What do the two religions still have in common?  How – and when – did they diverge?  Whatever your views, Walsh knows much that you do not.

Circa 1990, the late great Milton Friedman gave this eloquent half-hour introduction to his views on economic policy.  David Boaz, Cato’s executive vice-president, then moderates a free-wheeling policy conversation between Friedman, David Henderson of the Naval Post-Graduate School, Sally Pipes of the Pacific Research Institute, and Hannes Gissurarson of the University of Iceland.
