Economia

Why are some countries rich and some countries poor? Why have income and wealth become more unequally distributed over the past few decades? How will an aging population affect life in the coming decades? How will the workforce change with advances in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence?

Economics often involves topics like wealth, finance, recessions and banking, leading to the misconception that economics is all about money and the stock market. Actually, it’s a much broader discipline that helps us understand historical trends, interpret today’s headlines and make predictions for the coming years.
