Just wanted to share with you a very interesting site that I had found the other day on understanding Economics a lot more easier, through certain episodic clips of Seinfeld.
The website - http://yadayadayadaecon.com/
This website used clips from the popular TV show Seinfeld to illustrate some Economic Concepts.
Excerpt from the website -
Seinfeld ran for nine seasons on NBC and became famous as a “show about nothing.” Basically, the show allows viewers to follow the antics of Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer as they move through their daily lives, often encountering interesting people or dealing with special circumstances.
It is the simplicity of Seinfeld that makes it so appropriate for use in economics courses. Using these clips (as well as clips from other television shows or movies) makes economic concepts come alive, making them more real for students. Ultimately, students will start seeing economics everywhere – in other TV shows, in popular music, and most importantly, in their own lives.
