Lyrics to Demand, Suply Rap and Link to Chapter 1 of Professor Mankiw's Econ Textbook (Cross-Post)

One of the popular posts on the Economic Sounds and Sights blog contains this link to the "Demand, Supply" rap, created by Rhythm, Rhyme, Results, an educational music company located in Cambridge, M.A.

Joyce Santos was kind enough to post the lyrics to the rap, which I've posted below. The rap is was inspired by Harvard professor Greg Mankiw's ten principles of economics. These principles can be downloaded from the following link:

I'm using the Economic Sights and Sounds blog as a repository of information and links for use in a collaborative interactive multimedia time-line of events surrounding the current situation.

Economic Sounds and Sights: Interactive Economic Timeline

As the economy spun out of control, I decided to gather information from a range of sources and disciplines, to help me understand the complexity of the events leading to the crisis.

The following post is a repository of some of I've collected so far:

The Celestial Economic Sphere, Dataviz for the Finance Biz, Truthiness, and Behavioral Finance, Gordon Gekko...

I'd like to create a collaborative interactive economic time-line someday. For more information, see the following post:
