Teacher: Hey! Everybody! Wake up! I will show you guys an interesting example. (The picture change)
(There are 2 economists are walking on the street and debating about some economy question. Suddenly they notice that there was a poop.)
E1 (shouted): Why there is a poop here! That looks so disgusting!
Stranger: You do not know that? It is because a dog emptied his bower here! You should go home do your homework.
E1: I don’t know? Do you know who am I? I am the most intelligent economist in the world!
E2: Really? You? I think I am the most intelligent!

    Peter Blair Henry received his first lesson in international economics at the age of eight, when his family moved from the Caribbean island of Jamaica to affluent Wilmette, Illinois. Upon arrival in the United States, he wondered why people in his new home seemed to have so much more than people in Jamaica. The elusive answer to the question of why the average standard of living can be so different from one country to another still drives him today as a Professor of Economics in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. Peter began his academic career on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a wide receiver on the varsity football team and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in economics. With an intrinsic love of learning and a desire to make the world a better place, he knew that he wanted a career as an economist. He also knew that a firm foundation in mathematics would help him to answer the real-life questions that fueled his passion for economics—a passion that earned him a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, where he received a B.A. in mathematics.…

    Initially, I was intrigued by the book based on its odd cover, an image of what appears to be a granny smith apple on the outside and an orange on the inside, and I found the contents far more interesting. The “catchphrase” used is “a rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything”, and no other phrase could be more accurate. Steven D. Levitt, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago, proved the various uses for his field that I had never before realized.…

    Are we rational, as most economists claim, in our daily monetary transactions? Do we truly understand and carefully evaluate the real value before every economic decision? As the book titled: Predictably Irrational, the author, Dan Ariely, argues that people’s economic behaviors are rather irrational, yet predictable through psychological explanation. He experienced third-degree burns when he was a teenager. The treatment for this unfortunate event took up much of his social life in the next three years, and eventually made him feel “partially separated from society and as a consequence started to observe the very activities that were once my daily routine as if I were an outsider” (Ariely, 2008, p. xiii). Ariely is now a successful behavioral economist with doctorate degrees in psychology and business administration. He now shares his knowledge through his book, Predictably Irrational, in which he discusses people’s economic behaviors in psychological terms and reminds us our weaknesses, moreover, provides advices to prevent our future irrational decisions.…

    The brilliant British economist David Ricardo was one the most significant people involved in the evolution of economic theory. He was definitely not a late bloomer to discover his budding talent for business. In fact, at the young age of fourteen, Ricardo's father employed him full-time at the London Stock Exchange. With his undeniable talent for the field of economics and already significant reputation in the City of London, Ricardo managed to set up his own business as a dealer in government securities, finding himself "sufficiently rich to satisfy all [his] desires” (Letter to Mill, 1815).…
