Jeszcze nie czytalem ale chyba trzeba ich poznać • @krytykapolityczna "Pokolenie 89'" nominowane do nagrody Economicus! Jakubowi Sawulskiemu serdecznie gratulujemy! Między rokiem 1986 a 1995, w czasie, gdy w Polsce dokonywała się transformacja ustrojowa, rodzili się ludzie. To my – pierwsze pokolenie, które nie zna czasów PRL-u. Słabo pamiętamy też przemiany gospodarcze z lat 90. A członkostwo Polski w Unii Europejskiej, otwarte granice i dostęp do Internetu to dla nas coś oczywistego. Mamy kilka lat doświadczeń na rynku pracy, próbę wynajęcia lub kupna mieszkania i pierwsze zapłacone składki na emeryturę. Niektórzy z nas właśnie zakładają rodziny. I wiemy już, jakie są owoce polskiej transformacji, choć ani nie przeżyliśmy świadomie jej przebiegu, ani nie za bardzo interesuje nas to, co było wcześniej. Ale to, co zastaliśmy, wchodząc w dorosłe życie, odbiega często od tego, czego oczekiwaliśmy. Ta książka oddaje głos naszemu pokoleniu. Pokoleniu ‘89, które do tej pory było anonimowe, ale teraz zaczyna coraz głośniej mówić o tym, co trzeba w Polsce zmienić. #MłodziOPolskiejTransformacji #Pokolenie89 #WydawnictwoKP #KrytykaPolityczna #Economicus #NagrodaEconomicus #PrzemianyUstrojowe #KażdePokolenieMaInnySmak #Neoliberalizm https://www.instagram.com/p/CLEGWbEp1y0a86pC5XwBRTqkMWO9BWsp4Sc-600/?igshid=17n4lqsy29q58

There’s Utility in Economics.

 Let’s talk about Economy Theory. Economics is the social science that describes how economies and economic agents operate under resource scarcity. Economies reference systems of activity consisting of the production, distribution, and consumption of products and services. Such activities are mediated by agents and principals. Economic agents are decision makers serving their desires within the system, whereas principals authorise the actions of agents. Microeconomics concerns their behaviour (e.g., as individuals and within organisations). In a broader sense, Macroeconomics describes the aggregation of quantities within economic systems. Further sub-disciplines also exist, such as econometrics and contract theory. Where the academic disciple advocates “what ought to be” such science is said to be normative, rather than positive (which simply presents what is).

Economic systems used to be presented as simple dichotomies based on the coordination and ownership of resources. Current world economies are more complex, exhibiting market-oriented mixed attributes. Therefore the table below does not provide an exhaustive list of the types of economies that exist/can be described (e.g., economies can also be described by regional scope, centralisation, and openness). However, all economic systems must provide a basis for what and how much to produce, as well as the owners of the factors and outputs of production.

Common Typology (Economic Systems):

Ownership Form Public Private Allocation Mechanism (Top-Level) Planned (“Hands-on”) Socialist Planned Command Capitalism Market (“Hands-off”) Market Socialism Market Capitalism

Economics is expansive. There are many avenues to explore. There are many economic measures, activities, forces, challenges, trends and influences to understand. We can improve our lives through economic principles — more reasons to thank homo economicus/ sociologicus.

homo oeconomicus...

Economists since Keynes have argued that total rationality and complete knowledge are poor assumptions: real people have limited time to process information and make optimal choices in most situations, a rough guess is good enough.

Psychologists and behavioral economists criticize Homo economicus’s selfish motivations laboratory experiments have shown that people care about fairness and occasionally even act altruistically.

The chain of economic relationships necessary that takes this fish from Vietnamese farmers on the Mekong to the HUDS cooks who prepare it is an immense feat of social organization.
