Doing his best “Weird Al” impression, my friend Andrew Heaton stars in this explainer entitled “[The Economics of *House of Cards*](http://youtu.be/xkjrsDiQcRk).” It’s produced by our friends at [Econ​Sto​ries​.tv](http://www.econstories.tv). Enjoy.

Their debut effort was a quick analysis of some of [the economics of *Dallas Buyer’s Club*](http://youtu.be/Qu4C1yi_FKw).
