Time for a spot of leisure? Looking for something to listen to while unwinding? Try this Spotify playlist by John Hawkins (University of Canberra), titled "Songs about economics".
It has some obvious classics like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones, "Money, Money, Money" by ABBA, and "Money" by Pink Floyd. It even has some more contemporary songs like "Price Tag" by Jessie J., "Bills" by LunchMoney Lewis, and "7 Rings" by Ariana Grande. And a few songs that are quite obscure (at least, to me, since I had never heard them before), like "Offshore Banking Business" by The Members, and "Capitalism" by South Korean rapper Jvcki Wai.
Given the breadth of songs on the playlist though, there's some notable admissions. Why not include "Mo Money, Mo Problems" by The Notorious B.I.G.? Or "Money Trees" by Kendrick Lamar? Or even more obviously, "Minimum Wage" by They Might Be Giants? Or, given that Hawkins is Australian, "Blue Sky Mine" by Midnight Oil?
As a bonus, you should listen to this song, "There is No Depression in New Zealand" by Blam Blam Blam:
Enjoy!
