Editor's Notes

  1. The good news is that economics is everywhere in our daily lives, e.g. sports, government, religion, medicine, science, military, and law. Thus, in some ways this may be the most practical and/or useful class you take at the community college level. The bad news is that this can be the most boring, dismal, convoluted, abstract, contradictory, confusing subject matter to study. Why? First, this is not an exact science; rather a combination of subjective thinking with objective thinking. It involves a new way of thinking which states that there are two sides to most issue, and there are costs and benefits when analyzing and making choices on all kinds of issues. So, once you understand that it is mostly about a new way of thinking, it becomes tolerable. Secondly, I have often said (jokingly) that we should not allow a student to take any economics class until they are at least 40 years of age. This subject is a lot more interesting if you have personally experienced many of the economic situations that arise in ones life. I can personally attest to this; as an 18 year old, I flunked my very first economics class at the University of Arizona because, a) I didn't go to class very often, and b) when I did go to class, I was mentally asleep. For those of you who are not recent high school graduates, I think you'll have an advantage and will soon understand what I mean.
