Rocky Balboa and Black Market Lenders

Discussing the financial B plot of Rocky I.

After a bit of a hiatus, I am proud to announce that another script of mine has been released as a Short on the Foundation for Economic Education’s YouTube channel. As always, shout out to one of the best editors/co-authors out there, Matt Tabor, and the FEE video team.

In “Rocky vs. Predatory Lending,” I discuss Rocky Balboa’s career as a bruiser for the mafia, why someone would turn to the mafia for a loan in the first place, and why fewer people have to resort to this option nowadays: economic freedom, the gig economy, and payday lenders.

I encourage both skeptical and curious readers to watch the video.
