Episode 4: Economics is Fun, Sometimes!
At the sound of the word of Economics, most brains of most human beings in most modern societies buzz with wiggly charts, unfathomably large numbers and folks with dark suits and a brief case, with an air of omniscience, walking the sides of Wall Street. Economics, however, is a field with its own unique and intertwined history, albeit short in comparison to fellow Social Sciences. It has a very special place, on par with the likes of Philosophy and Psychology, in that it is beyond a field of study: it is a way of thinking. In fact, it is accurate to say that Economics, more so than it studying balance sheets, money and currency, micro- and macro-economics and the economy itself, studies decision making, on the grand policy scale, and perhaps in a more relevant stance to our listeners, on the personal day to day scale. In this Podcast, The Janus Crew, Dawit Asrat Wachelo and Michael Legesse Shiferaw, discuss Economics in a holistic lens, studded with historical and personal anecdotes. Enjoy!
