And yet everything that economics studies was designed and instantiated through property laws, a stable state, the rule of law itself, legal procedures that benefits some type of people over others, giving a lot more power to people who work with capital vs people who work with their labor, Etc.

Not sure of the relevance of your point Elfrania: Michael asserts that economics exists to get people to buy more stuff. That's a fundamental misunderstanding, and one that we who love economics bristle at.
Artificial scarcity is an interesting notion. I would agree that when I introduce a self imposed constraint on how I spend my time, it ends up helping me be way more productive. I used to do this a lot with school work. I would often procrastinate while doing school work so creating a deadline for how long I would study would provide me a stronger bang for my minute of studying. Cool video and ted talk!
I agree. I am 13 and am in Yr 7 in New South Wales. A lot of my mates in 11 chose Eco and Commerce but don't sit the tests. Strange. But you do need eco for Lawyer. That might be a reason.
That’s because economics students can work in a variety of different fields once they graduate and go on to find jobs easily. That is why you don’t see a lot of economics students become economists.
My son is an "Economist" but this global pandemic put the brakes on his job prospects. He was in the process of taking exams for certification and licensing but don't ask me for what. O do know tgat after this global depression ends his career path loojs very stable and lucrative. He majored in Economics out of interest and not specifically as a career path.
Economics (/ɛkəˈnɒmɪks, iːkə-/) is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Economics focuses on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents and how economies work.
I work for a major delivery company in the United States. one of the biggest reasons they do have regulations for the Trucking industry is safety. from tires to breaks horns, lights, and to have a predictable route. it sounds dumb but it's very important. Life Safety is very important!
Thank you both for your honesty and integrity. You both mentioned that Monopoly is not Capitalism. Respectfully I would like to make a correction that Monopoly (Single Seller), Oligopoly (Few Sellers), Monopsony (Single Buyer) and Imperialism are the Dynamic Laws of capitalism. This is due to the fact of concentration and centralization of capital that have led to concentration of Wealth and Income over time. The resulted inequality of wealth and income mirrors the concentration of Political Power. Each billionaire has gained more political power over time than millions of middle-income Americans. Thus, the dynamics of capitalism is concentration of wealth and political power, i.e., not democratic.
cro4591 it’s the only moral way, it’s the most efficient way known to man, it’s the most just way known to man, and it’s don’t far more for mankind than anything else (though to be exact I basically just said mankind has done more for mankind since “the market” is just the culmination of humans interacting and making choices with and of what to do with their labor, resources, skills, information, will, ideas etc. and everything else that is their property.)
Do you have a better idea? If so you can always take it to the marketplace of ideas by stating it, describing it, and providing reason to follow/believe it. Thanks to freedom of speech, a basic human right we Americans take for granted, we have our right to choose what we do with out mental property, our ideas and thoughts, as we do with our other property. If you think that these rights are not important enough to be regarded above an idea that sounds smart but requires that these rights be infringed upon, be my guest to use your rights to demean your rights, as is your right.
I still don't understand why the idea of government intervention is seen as bad. With airlines themselves being in an oligopolistic market surely without the use of government intervention price fixing cartels will/have formed leading to this market which should be competitive to acting as though it is a monopoly. Additionally if the market itself was seen as contestable, William Baumol himself even said that contestable markets do not act as though competitive. Due to consumers needing time to respond to a new firm entering the market at a lower price the idea of perfect contestability is about as realistic as perfect competition.
Most of what he was explaining is behavioural economics which plays a key part in much of our lives; i would suggest anyone interested in this field and how it has come to prominance over the more mathematical based economics read 'MisBehaving' by richard thaler.
I did a Masters in Economics terrific subject very interesting but very hard to get a job exactly in that area.Economists jobs few available . A lot in up in banks etc but not related to Economics
I always thought economist were the best being business consultant. I never knew before that it is hard to find jobs available since there are many startups and new business need more strategy as the competition arose.

Keynes also said that "economists give themselves too easy a job if they only tell us that the sea is going to be calm after a storm." Which is, unfortunately, what modern economists have been telling us for about half a century now... let the market rule, and if it is rough now, it will be better as the markets "naturally" recover. Do not kid yourself, Keynes was not an economist in the modern sense of the word... He was an intellectual first and foremost, but he had an interest in economics and used his intelligence to make money to fuel his interests.
Micro-economics... respect, perhaps begrudgingly. Macro-economics.... you can beg and plead, but you've got some real balls to even dare to ask for respect.
And all these 'fantastic' economic theories brought us to the precipice- a complete climate breakdown and human extinction in the next few generations! Bravo!
@@2late4coffee id say econ can be viewed as a subset of collective psychology/sociology. This is just about definitions and what and how much we include.
So economists are great at everything but the economy. The question is do economists think about the moral implications of their schema or just the financial implications?
@@MrJonespwnes what statistics? Economics majors underemployment rate is 44%, based on the US census. Unemployment for Economic majors are 4.1%, when 2.1% was for all graduates. Median income for a bachelors only in economics is $45k for starting salaries, except is about $28k for outside big cities, this moves to be $65k and $42k mid career respectively with bachelors only. To be an economist you need a PhD, it's about $105k in median salary, but PhD in economics makes on average $95k. There are about 21,000 jobs as economists, based on the BLS. There are about 45k people getting economics degrees every year. I did a search on indeed for economist, and onlu 846 jobs popped up in the whole US. Most were working in a big city, for some government agency. I searched bachelors economics, and only 1,105 jobs showed, however, most jobs asked for math, engineering, statistics, business, accounting, or economics. So they weren't specifically requiring economics majors. Additionally jobs that paid higher wages asked for Masters or PhD level candidates with quite a bit of experience 5-7 or 10+ years experience for salaries 90-110k in big cities.
No, so that people can eat, drink, be saved from diseases, have shelter and life Support, have weapons to protect oneself so effective that physical strength is no longer a requirement (allowing women more freedom and independence thanks to their second amendment right than women have ever had before, and doing the same with men) have good hygiene, learn more effectively and easily a greater variety of ideas and knowledge, travel quickly across large distances, have billions of different products at their fingertips if only they agree to serve their fellow man as their fellow man has agreed to serve them, and have all this cheaply and efficiently.
I have been investing with mr Chris Russ, I came across some nice comments about him here on RUclips and I gave him a try and honestly I didn't regret the move
That's all very interesting, but he speaks as though economists are all so underappreciated that they get spat on in the street or something. I missed the part where he explains why it's necessary to pity economists. Are they all living in squalor while they stave off disasters that threaten us all?
are you doing your diligence and hold yourself acccountable for your stupidity, unjust indignantion, undignify behavior and volunatary ignorance? Did you study for 20years in graduate and post graduate, did you study advance economics, know your basic ethics, law, reasoning, philosophy, mathematics without being paid and living on a cup of noodles? While dumb fucks like you leech, steal, lie, say bias and ignorant shit, self-entitle, useless, undignifying, unreasonable, etc. GET some self reflection and take at least some basic philosophy classes because god you are way too fucking stupid for me to even dignify your undignifying & absurd statemetns, but as a reasonable person I feel incline to get your pathetic ass to do some self reflection and basic research. Did you fucking do anything other than spread propoganda and say ignorant bias and self contradictory statements? FFS have some common decency and accountability you piece of retarded, ignorant, self-entitle, bias, ungrateful trash, clueless dipshit village moron with a pitchfork. FYI the majority of PHD were foriegn and came over poor as shit and deal with isolent mother fucking retards like you and were spit on like you are doing right now while creating entired industries and fixing all the problems while being underpaid and over work and given all the impossible task to solve while people like you are the cause to those fucking problems that's a fact among all MAJORS and intelligent people. YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM YOU IMBECILE. Take some basic logic class, philosophy, engineer, calculus, etc etc. Because you are a fucking complete dumbass without any sense of responsibility, awareness, or common decency. Also you should questioned yourself and make correct and valid connections, you imbecile.
Market capitalism justifies it's existence through artificial scarcity. Then turns around and promotes "infinite consumption" and "infinite economic growth". Automation, technology, and technological unemployment increases production, efficiency, and abundance.
Wow, too bad local businesses and grocery stores couldn't afford to hire a rock star economist to suck money and decent jobs out of local economies and into the multinationals, Asian manufacturers and rock star economists. We should all send thank you notes to the economists who made this economy and the support it gives to local businesses, jobs and investments possible. Or maybe not...
Economists are smart and intelligent people. Too bad they are not aware of the secondary consequence of their actions which are detrimental to the planet and the ecosystem and society as a whole.
I can't really find the point of this presentation. It just shows which decisions have been influenced by economists. So what?! You can find examples of decisions that have been influenced by some group for every single profession.
Yeah, basically this guys doesn't prove anything. He just says economists have minor role in some online services developement - and sometimes he even connect 2 disconnected things to imply economist had a (crucial) role. He is highly overstating the economist role. Many, many other things took part in the development of those online services. I know this is tough time for economists since one can hold them responsible for crises but still ... just keep on working and thinking, and not on how to falsely find nice results to economists's work afterwards. And I wish all economists read Adam Smith, both The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations - not only excerpts from the latter.
dont think that most of those studying to become economists are bothered by not getting enough respect. We know economics is the glue to civilisations, and that the importance of the job economists do is among, if not the highest importance per capita in the world.

ok, so two engineers reinvented Vickrey's Nobel Prize-winning work --- doesn't that mean it wasn't that hard to think up? († I would have thought otherwise…auction theory seems like the only rigorous part of economic theory … just seems to go against his end conclusion. Since an economist _did not_ apparently come up with the idea to do a 6th-price auction or whatever Google does.) Want to hear the other side on Moneyball & deregulation.
This is also true of the Priceline founder: not an economist. Litan is just trying to give credit for someone else's work to economists because … he took some classes from them years before?

ok, so two engineers reinvented Vickrey's Nobel Prize-winning work --- doesn't that mean it wasn't that hard to think up?

Since an economist _did not_ apparently come up with the idea to do a 6th-price auction or whatever Google does.)
Want to hear the other side on Moneyball & deregulation.
This is also true of the Priceline founder: not an economist. Litan is just trying to give credit for someone else's work to economists because … he took some classes from them years before?
social darwinism is coming, economist will be happy
maybe cupid is in trouble because of its sustainability model of its customers probably because its forced somehow through agreements to share markets with other dating websites and apps which is a problem for those who are truly looking to find the right one because of the loop loop forever loop loop and loop here loop there might as well call it the loop business model of match no match of here there here there and so specifically for each site resulting in time consuming at cost of daters...then I age and age and age and still single but uglier *sigh whats the economy timeline for dating website boom...is it when everyone gets tired of online dating and never finding the right one forever...the non free website which some people cannot afford
