Understanding the concept of opportunity cost
Blame It On The Boogie!
- Whenever there is an inconvenience or a problem, we instinctively seek a guilty party, a person or collective that can be blamed for the ordeal.
- This is a very human impulse to assign culprits to things that go wrong.
- When the economy is sluggish, it’s always due to bad policies and the bad people who make them, rather than hideously complex market interactions that even economists don’t understand.
- When the local football team has a disappointing season, it’s the failure of the coach, or the quarterback, or the management, or a lack of fan support.

- If you can convince yourself that a given problem is caused by bad people, then it means someone else is responsible for it.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
