The fortune teller
Is it possible for a song to influence economic theory? The fortune teller (Chartorichtra) is a Greek song, performed with the beautiful voice of Lizeta Kalimeri.

This song can be interpreted in many ways, but for me, vividly demonstrates the unique geographical position of Greece and the influence from Middle East countries on commerce, economy, trading and migration for centuries.
