Dear Student: We love economics. We engage in economic discussions, use economic arguments, and think economically every day. We use economics in our lives, not only when deciding whether to refinance a loan, but also when choosing the strategy to make a date or marriage successful, or even to be good parents to our children. Yes, we are indeed a bit quirky. That's why we'll proceed here with a warning. If the thought of becoming a bit quirky yourself makes you hesitant, Do Not Read This Book. Because once you're exposed to the economic way of thinking, there's no turning back – you'll see the world with different eyes and it will change you. Are the things you'll learn here worth it? That's for you to judge. We consider economics important. We need it to make better investments, but also better choices in our lives in general. Citizens of a democracy must be able to evaluate and judge issues of taxation, deficits, trade, healthcare, and inflation. Do you really prefer to be ignorant or intelligent voters? The economic way of thinking will help you understand everyday issues and explain them confidently to someone else. We won't lie to you: Economics can also be challenging. Of course, very few valuable knowledge is easily acquired and, in order to truly understand economics, you'll need to thoroughly grasp some new tools and ideas like supply and demand curves, marginal thinking, and equilibrium. However, we have tried hard to exclude as many technical terms as possible and avoid unnecessary formulations. We will offer you only what truly matters. And at the same time, we'll have fun. Finally, don't forget to check out the videos that can help you understand the course content and entertain you even more. Welcome to the world of economics.
