The
Seven
Principles
of
the
Economic
Way
of
Thinking
and
Reasoning
It's all about
individual choice - Luck has nothing to do with it; marginal analysis
... everything.
1.
People choose.
2. People’s choices involve costs.
3. People respond to incentives in predictable ways.
4. People create economic systems that influence individual
choices and incentives.
5. People gain when they trade voluntarily.
6. People’s choices have consequences that lie in the future.
7. The laws of Supply and
Demand affect every aspect of life.
