Why Your Morning Coffee Reveals More About Economics Than a Wall Street Ticker
Have you ever wondered why your local barista earns minimum wage while a celebrity chef commands millions? Or why gas prices seem to rise overnight but fall slowly? These aren't random quirks-they're economics in action, the invisible architecture shaping every decision you make. Economics isn't about graphs and equations; it's about understanding why people do what they do and how those choices ripple through society. At its core, economics rests on one simple truth: people respond to incentives. We act to make ourselves better off, whether that means buying a latte, choosing a career, or donating to charity. This isn't cynicism-it's reality. When a washerwoman named Oseola McCarty donated her $150,000 life savings to scholarships despite living frugally, she wasn't defying economics. She was maximizing her own utility through generosity, proving that self-interest encompasses far more than selfishness.
