Economics isn't just about markets and money—it's a powerful framework for making better decisions in all aspects of life. When resources, time, and money are limited, how do you maximize happiness or value? This is the fundamental question economists answer every day.
In this series, we will go through key economic concepts to help you think like an economist. This perspective will transform how you analyze everyday decisions and interpret world events. Economists think about marginal benefits against marginal costs, recognizing when costs are sunk and should be ignored in decision-making, calculating opportunity costs of foregone alternatives, and anticipating unintended consequences of policies and actions.
The economic mindset reveals patterns and trade-offs hidden beneath the surface of everyday decisions. Whether you're contemplating a career change, evaluating a business investment, or simply trying to understand news headlines more clearly, thinking like an economist provides a structured approach to navigation in an uncertain world.
This series will help you do just that: Think Like An Economist
