Understand the world in a deep way
Economics focuses on the thousands of decisions that guide the world's financial markets, geopolitics, and the lives of every person on the planet鈥攆rom leaders of Fortune 500 companies to teenagers looking for their first jobs. In the same way that physics makes up the foundations of biology and medicine, economic theory is the bedrock of business.
