Hello

I have been blogging about my life each week and found that every week I had something to say about economics. Inspired by the wonderful and interesting economics blogs that I read, I decided to start my own. Don't expect the caliber of "Freakonomics," but hopefully I can provide some interesting reads. I am still a student of economics even though I have my Bachelor's degree. We all are, I say. It is important to spread the knowledge because, as economist's know, markets work best when there is perfect information.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration concentrated in Economics. I was greatly influenced by the book "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. My views are most closely those of a Libertarian but, as the title of this blog implies, I dabble in other points of view.

Another reason for having this blog is to share the plight of an economics-minded person. I asked my peers in my last Econometrics class before graduating college, "By choosing to be an economist, I've doomed myself to a lifetime of misunderstanding, haven't I?" When people asked what my major was in college and I told them Economics, they would often reply "Oh, that's cool, but I don't really like math." !?!?! Economics is not about math, it's about choices. Sure you can get into some amazing calculus in Econometrics, but Economics is about so much more.

Some of my personal hobby research topics are the economics of baseball, Capitalism & Christianity, and charitable contributions elasticity.
