I can't explain how excited I was when I first heard about 'The Economics of Seinfeld.' Most Westerners know that 'Seinfeld' was a landmark 90s sitcom, but would you have guessed that it could be a valuable teacher of basic and advanced economic concepts?
Everything from cost-benefit analyses to compensating wage differentials can be learned simply by watching 'Seinfeld.' 'The Economics of Seinfeld' website breaks down the economic theories in each episode and even tells you how far into the show you will find them. 'Seinfeld' is truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
