We ought to have vast knowledge on so many things beyond the things we are taught in school and one of the thing we are supposed to acquire knowledge about is our economy even if you would not be an expert in the field it is important to be able to say something about the topic whenever you are asked. There are things we have to learn apart from the things we are taught in the four walls of a classroom and it is very important that we understand the way our economy operates, in this post I will be giving you reasons why it is important for you to have knowledge about economy.

The knowledge of economics will help you become more efficient in decision making, every day we are saddled with the responsibility of making decisions either in our day to day activities or in our businesses decisions are things we have to always make, the study of economics will then teach us how to handle our finance in case there is scarcity , it will help us know how to set appropriate priorities and provide you with the reason why you have to choose one commodity above the other or one asset above the other.

Thinking like an economist will save you time, energy and resources on so many occasions and of course, you cannot think like an economist except you have an idea about it or you have a little knowledge about its operations. This brings us our second point on the reason why you have to think like an economist- Thinking like an economist will save you the energy that should be spent on things that are unnecessary and irrelevant and even while a normal person may not see those things as a time wasting activity, you as an economist will quickly recognize it and stay away from it as much as you can.

Economist quickly understand and are able to foresee unseen issues, a normal person like me for instance might not really have an issue with spending a certain amount of money at the time I have it but a learned economist will see the danger of spending unnecessarily ahead and inform me of the future problem which if I heed his advice, I will not fall victim of the warned issue. Rather than even always waiting for an economist to tell me what to do all the time, I think it is much better to have a knowledge about the topic myself, no matter how little it is.

Hello friend, I think that topic is of utmost importance, almost nobody takes it into account, just until he has to do something about it. But it's always important to have some knowledge.

Economics happens a lot in our everyday living and the knowledge of knowledge must not be taken for granted.
