Weird Al Yankovic, "Amish Paradise"

In this parody of Gagster Paradise, Weird Al delves into the economics of being Amish. Topics include opportunity costs, inefficiency resulting from the failure to utilize division of labor, exchanges with the modern world, a lack of technology, and even the meaning of a Robinson Crusoe economy. We may not think much of the Amish lifestyle, but there is still lots we can learn about economics from thinking about what it would be like to live without modern conveniences.
