Keynes vs. Hayek
I chose two
songs for this week. They are a series and I love it so much!!!!!! The characteristic
of them is that they are about economics. The point of the song is the debate
between Keynes and Hayek. Rap is the main way they presented these songs.
These funny creations were the brainchild of
two professors, Russell Roberts and John Papola,
of George Mason University. They combined the point of view of the two economy
masters Keynes and Hayek. Their arguments are opposite so they designed the
fighting part to represent the contradiction. I think they turn the marrow of
their theories into rap is extremely genius. Moreover, to make learning a funny
thing is so great. Enjoying the song then you can absorb some economy knowledge.
If we can make our learning a pleasant thing I believe we can have a lot of
gain.

I think these songs are very impressive and innovative. It makes those who don’t familiar with the economic (including myself) easier to quickly understand the situation among the world. It’s a brisk song and the lyrics are good to remember. I still remembered that when I was in senior two, our physical teacher taught the centripetal force, but the formulas were very hard to remember. So there were a song named 向心力之歌, it made a simple way for us to learn the physic. You can find it on YouTube. It’s quite interesting.
