Economics at the Movies - Four Yorkshiremen and Happiness Economics
Geoff Riley
31st October 2010
There are many resources out there for teaching happiness and welfare. But this class Monty Python clip - The Four Yorkshiremen - does it for me! Idle, Chapman, Palin and Jones are on top form as they descend into ever-greater exaggerations about the deprivations they suffered as children….. “Cardboard Box ... you were lucky”. A hat tip to student James Tozer who flagged this clip up as a tool for teaching welfare!
