Material Detail

This website associates short clips from the Seinfield show to economic concepts.  The authors suggest, "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."

The authors have also created an index of economic terms which are linked to the appropriate episode(s).
