“For something that is so integral to shaping our daily lives, most people do not take the time to understand the subject deeply.” I believe that there’s something natural and important about having a childlike curiosity about the world. That sense of wonder that is so quickly lost as we age is the very thing that drives the world forward. It’s the force behind the formation of ideas and knowledge. It drives us to ask about why things are the way they are? About how can we make them better? Life as we know it, whether you’re aware of it or not, is governed largely, perhaps completely, by economics. In the same way that physics is the central discipline within the physical sciences, Economics is the central discipline within the social sciences.
