What interests and excites you about the subject of Economics?
James Oswald asked:
I am really interested in Economics because I get an understanding of how society works. How our lives are influenced day to day, and the theories and market forces behind them. I see these everywhere – and to learn about them in depth, intensifies my observation of matters such as the amount of people going into one coffee shop, the quality of a car in comparison to its manufacturer’s capacity, which I enjoy doing.
