The synchronicity of 'The Wizard of Oz' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark side of the Moon' - YouTube
US History teachers that use Henry Littlefield's Wizard of Oz analogy device in a lesson about the Gilded Age can use Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" synchronicity as a quick device to peak their interest.  This video scrambles the music at parts to move the the best examples, but the inclusion of video, music and lyrics  is excellent.  You can also watch it just for fun.

Veblen: The Theory of the Leisure Class (book)
Veblen: The Theory of the Leisure Class (book)
The Theory of the Leisure Class is considered one of the great works of economics as well as the first detailed critique of consumerism. In the book, Veblen argues that economic life is driven not by notions of utility, but by social vestiges from pre-historic times. Drawing examples from the contemporary period and anthropology, he held that much of today's society is a variation on early tribal life.This may have relevance for the digital age when facebook "tribes" are branded for marketeers.
