Did "I'm Just a Bill" Foster My Later Interest in Institutional Econ?

By Ian

Don't remember the tune? Not a problem.

But that's nothing compared to the list of songs compiled for the MASSIVE database. That's "Math And Science Song Information, Viewable Everywhere". Right now, the emphasis is on Science (a search for "derivatives" came up empty).

There's nothing like a catchy little ditty to get some basic ideas to stick in your head when you're just starting out on a topic. Sure, everyone titters the first time they hear "Slutsky Equation." But get a decent blues ballad going, and I bet remembering that the substitution effect is always negative would be a lot more fun. And I can't be the only one that remembers what Albania borders on after seeing that episode of Cheers.
