If you study Economics, you will find out how economists view the world. Something as seemingly uninteresting as drinking a cappuccino in a shop would be interesting to an economist. An economist would see players in an intriguing game of signals and negotiations. The game is for high stakes; some of the people who worked to get that coffee in front of you made a lot of money, some made very little. The economist knows the cappuccino is the product of an incredible team effort. While economists are constantly thinking about the things going on around them, they are not limited to discussing local matters. If you talked to an economist you might point to the gap between the world’s rich countries and the world’s poor ones, and say it’s appalling. An economist would share this injustice but also tell you why rich countries are rich, and poor countries are poor, and ways the gaps could be bridged.
