About the economy

marcus k asked:


Do I need to go beyond a basic, university economics class to succeed as an executive? How applicable/ practical would my knowledge of economics be if I wanted to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company (regardless the industry)? Would you say that knowledge of marketing, finance, accounting, supply chain, and organizational behavior be more important? I would appreciate a ranking of the subjects in terms of importance.

Matthew D asked:


What role does influencing human behavior play in economics? In the midst of the recession(which began in 2007 but no one acknowledged till months later) we, the educated ones, were whispered that we mustn’t say ‘recession’ because telling the truth about the recession would only exacerbate it. I see however many times on Fox News and others attempts at shaping the mind and social behavior in such a way as to influence economic and financial behavior of its viewers and society at large.
If economics can be boiled down to influencing human behavior, not simply predicting it, how valid a science is economics?

I’ve looked these two terms up, but I never find them listed as positive or normative analysis, instead I keep finding normative/positive economics. Are those the same things? Also, could you give me an example of each type of analysis? Thanks!

I’m interested only in classical theory economics. I know that in this theory, the increase of money produces only inflation. What about the increase of tax rates? Does it increase prices or it just decrease investments?

richief_611 asked:


I want to major in economics, but have a lot of space for lots of other classes for a double major. So what should I double major in that would work well with economics?

Would Political Science, Mathematics, a foreign language, the sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, etc), be good to double major with economics?
