The first time the British saw a platypus, they thought it was a hoax. A mammal that lays eggs, carries venom, and finds its way through murky waters with a special sixth sense, it doesn't follow the rules, and yet it's thriving. Here's what economics has taught me. The world rarely follows the rules either. Your life is shaped by economic currents you'll never see. A single price tag can explain things a thousand expectations. can't, and good intentions can lead to bad outcomes. The people who understand all of this,

who really understand it, they make better decisions in their careers, their finances, their relationships, and their communities. I have loved every minute I've spent teaching economics to university students, but I also know that too many people never get access to these ideas, and they pay the price for it. And that's why you should check out my podcast, Platypus Economics, because economic literacy isn't a luxury, it's a necessity, and because everyone, not just the privileged view, deserves the tools to see the world more clearly. From world events to everyday decisions, economics explains it all. Platypus economics makes it clear, useful, and fun.
