From AudioFile:

This is yet another of Knowledge Products' excellent audio presentations. Part of the Great Economic Thinkers series, this presentation profiles Frank Knight, an economics professor at the University of Chicago during the mid-twentieth century, and also offers brief looks at Knight's three Nobel prize-winning students: Milton Friedman, James Buchanan and George Stigler. Like other Knowledge Products tapes, various voices are used for those quoted. Most of the voices are quite good–although some of the quotes seem forced. The primary voice is that of Rukeyser, a tremendous narrator; his voice is lively and a pleasure to hear while exuding a confidence that difficult economic concepts can be understood as long as one is patient.
