Thinking like an economist helps us to identify the root causes of society’s most pressing challenges—like rising inequality, housing affordability, and environmental damage. Economic analysis provides tools to understand complex systems and the choices individuals, businesses, and governments make—choices that often shape these issues. Exploring the strengths and limitations of markets, policy, and human behaviour reveals the possibilities and constraints for addressing social problems. Making a positive impact starts with understanding the problem.
