Econotunes: An earful for the new academic year

I recently subscribed to Spotify premium, for more music during my daily commute.  Their categories and suggestions help solve the paradox of choice for a while, but soon I was looking for more songs about economics, about money and things.  Hence this playlist:

It’s public and collaborative, so please add tracks you think others might like.  Almost everything in life relates to economics in some way, but for me the high water mark of music about money and things is this lovely pop song from the radio when I lived in Zimbabwe in the 1980s, now available only on YouTube:

The title and refrain is “what’s nice is expensive”.  A universal, heartbreaking truth.

If this sounds good to you, please share your favorites on the Spotify playlist or add to my one-song playlist on YouTube!
