Do think like an economist?
Why do 24 hrs open store put lock on the
door?
Why is chicken not an endangered
species, while a whale is?
Why do we work?
Why do we consume?
Why do we produce?
Why do we seek for maximization?
Where to go?
Would you tell me please, which way ! ought to go
from here?" asked Alice.
That depends a great deal on where you want to get
to," said the cat.
! don't much care where ..," said Alice.
Then it does not matter which way you go," said the
cat.
... Alice in Wonderland", Lewis B. Carroll.
_____________________________________
Eventually Alice realized that it matters a great
deal to know where to go" and how to get there". The
same is true today for any branch of Economics.
Best way to prepare for the
course..
As regards preparation for the course, in fact for
any course, let me remind you of an ageold
Chinese saying:
The best way to complete a work is to start.
Thereafter, it doest not matter at what speed
you go or if you stop for a while for taking rest.
The only condition is that you should not leave
the work in between. Continue to work until you
finish it."
