The ultimate goal of economics is to teach people how to live a happy life. Our daily lives are filled with the application of economics, including the ups and downs of wages, unemployment, and prices... Only when economics comes out of the academic ivory tower and is known to the general public can it truly serve real life. This book is mainly short essays, starting from specific events in social life, and discusses economic issues. It includes both classic explanations of economic principles and popular judgments on economic issues. It breaks through the barriers of professional vocabulary and textbook-style learning, allowing readers to have an easy dialogue with economics.
