Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know about Hamilton, the Tony Award winning and widely-acclaimed musical. But Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first musical wasn’t Hamilton, it was In The Heights, which also won the Tony Award for Best Musical and was adapted into a movie.
Like Hamilton, In The Heights also has many great economics lessons we can learn from it, and no song likely has more than $96,000. Below is the song with economics lessons you can follow along with. My great students Mirra created this in a version that works for “shorts”, so these have been uploaded to my YouTube channel in one-minute segments as well.
