Alas, most students come in with the attitude that Econ is a required course to just get past. It really isn’t that at all, perhaps just the way it’s presented.
Yeah, youth is wasted on the young.
Generally, Economics and History (true, not revisionist) aren’t appreciated until later in life. I don’t know, for some reason I just got economics.
In the meantime, I am flabbergasted by how flummoxed people are about the simple economic laws of supply and demand and how production and prices are artificially disrupted when those economic laws are broken, basically by government interference.
As with most things, “do-good” governmental acts, especially the unconstitutional ones, do much more harm than good.
Presentation is key on subjects like Econ that some would just teach as a series of charts, graphs, & formulas. I took micro & macro Econ courses as prerequisites for admission to the MBA program because my bachelors degree was not business. Taking it at night at a small regional university meant the instructor was an adjunct part-timer. He made both of those courses come to life for me & memorable across the past 4 decades. I wouldn’t have traded him for having a full professor at all.
