More rappin’ economics
October 28, 2009Jon Brooks Comments OffIn our last post, we turned you on to the rap economics song “Demand Supply.” Now, thrill to eight more dope phat economics tracks, from the album “Flat World Economics” by Rhythm Rhyme Results.
Our recommendations include the R&B-flavored “Elasticity,” which should have you jutting your chin, swaying your hips, and assimilating the supply/demand curve’s sensitivity to price in no time flat. And definitely get your freak on to “Maximum Utility‘s” funky downbeat and economics-positive lyrics:
Over the price of the good on the vertical axis
Multiply this by negative one
That’s the slope of the Budget Line, but you’re not done, because…
Chorus
Maximum utility
Consumers acting rationally
They maximize their satisfaction
And we predict their actions
Let’s face it, the marriage of hip hop and macroeconomics was bound to happen. How long before Def Jam releases “F*** the supply-side!” by Paul Krugman?
