Quote of the day

Economics is as much a communicable disease as it is a discipline. Economics is a way of thinking about everything and coming to a sense of understanding life better. When you catch it, the way of thinking (by way of learning a few basic but powerful economic principles), it is hard not to see most of life's large and small events as economic puzzles worthy of reflection and solution.
