Essential UCLA School of Economics: What was the UCLA School of Economics?

The economics department of the University of California Los Angeles, better known as UCLA, gained prominence in the last few decades of the 20th century with a focus on how property rights, regulations, the legal system and social norms influenced the economy. The insights of UCLA economists, including Armen Alchian, Harold Demsetz, Sam Peltzman, Benjamin Klein, Jack Hirshleifer, George Hilton and others have had a lasting impact on economics and government policy.

Do not major in economics at Ucla. It’s a big, big waste of time and money when graduating into the real world. Very poor job placement. Nothing you learn will give you a leg up in the job market.

Depends,. Me and my buddies be making six figures straight out of college.

@@nightmare4122I feel like Econ itself makes it harder for people to compete because it's a bit theoretical and broad, but of course, there are some very bright and competitive Econ students who can succeed professionally.
