"Model Economists"
IntroductionIf three economists were asked to provide a solution to one economic problem, they may come up with three very different, and even contradictory, theories. Because economists have different backgrounds and experiences, their advice is influenced by how they view the world. Throughout history, problems and situations of the time also have given rise to different schools of economic thought. In this lesson, you will learn about early economists and the history of economic schools of thought.
