• Free Markets, Free Choice - "In a market economy, consumers have a wide choice of goods. This causes business competition that results in higher-quality goods at competitive prices—the basic principle behind supply-and-demand economics. The marketplace is trusted to answer the questions: What? How? And for whom? This is unlike centrally planned economies where the government determines the answers."
• Introductory Economics: Free Trade - "The benefits of free trade are examined in this program. The program expands on the concept of specialization by distinguishing between absolute advantage and comparative advantage."
• Confronting Communism: And the Walls Came Tumbling Down
• Mao Tse-tung - "His portrait still adorns the imperial gate in Beijing, but communism’s last emperor is beginning to lose his clothes...his reputation tarnished by new evidence about the darker side of both his private life and his public policy. He...set [China] back a decade through the Cultural Revolution...allowed millions of its people to starve. He preached a simple lifestyle, yet privately, he lived like an emperor."
• The Third World War: Al Qaeda - "A global enemy requires a global response. This powerful series explores the unparalleled level of international cooperation necessary to defeat the al Qaeda network and contain terrorism."
