Understanding the economy is perhaps about understanding people
Is it money that makes society go round?
Money doesn’t flow of its own accord.
In order for the economy to circulate, there is a need for the knowledge and experience of all sorts of people.
And doubtless a need for wisdom, technology and ideas, too.
There may also be people’s feelings, and people you want to make happy.
At the end of the day, it’s people who make money flow.
The world is intricately intertwined.
Communities, society, money,
as well as declining birthrates and income inequality – the very thought of trying to sort all these out is a dizzying prospect.
Nonetheless, economics is there
for the sake of somehow making a better future.
By knowing and acting upon the principles and mechanisms of the economy,
your own or someone else’s quality of life can change.
Surely that’s a truly wonderful thing.
