About the Webinar

We examine economic lessons we can learn from Taylor Swift’s actions and song lyrics. As the most popular musician in the world, Taylor Swift has song lyrics that explain a number of economic concepts, her actions in The Era’s Tour, and through other business decisions help provide a great way to learn economics.

This is a previously recorded webinar. The recording includes a 30-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute question and answer period by LIVE attendees. If you are interested in attending one of our upcoming webinars, look under the Upcoming Events tab.
