Word to Your Money

When I heard this story on rapping economics lessons on the way home today on NPR, I was skeptical.

Really? A hip hop video to teach economics theory? Come on!

But then I thought, why shouldn't a misogynistic, dope-selling culture be the perfect vehicle for educating young people about economics? After all, that culture is based on the basic logic of our economy: "Buy Ho. Sell High."

Sorry. I'm reasonably sure that there's a place reserved between the fourth and fifth rings of Hell for people like me.
