This seminar will explore the development of the music industry and how it came to be, from the age of cassettes and CDs to the landscape of digital music, piracy, and streaming services today. We will examine this development through an economic lens, namely through microeconomic concepts such as Demand/Supply, the Theory of the Firm and Market Failure, as well as through Behavioral Economics. We will also explore how individuals and groups try to get their acts off the ground in an ever-competitive industry. The seminar will not only involve learning economic skills and acquiring an economic intuition for viewing seemingly non-economic situations, but also an activity for learning various basic skills in A Cappella, such as singing and beatboxing, through which students will learn about Economic concepts such as opportunity cost and economies of scale.
