About this site
Throughout your entire life and in nearly every circumstance, you will experience economics. Economics is a perspective. It's a way of looking at things. It's a science that allows us to make some very interesting conclusions and have some very interesting discussions. I created this site to allow you the opportunity to discover and discuss these ideas in intuitive ways through real world stories. You've probably read about so many economic concepts in the Wall Street Journal and now you have this site to provide the introductory economic intuition behind those newspaper stories.

Also feel free me to email me with questions or comments at eliot@economicsofrealworld.com
