I don't understand the question. Economics, micro or macro is the basic understanding of trade/commerce and general finances acrossed our world. So even at an early age when we teach our children the difference between a penny and a quarter, and the associated value of a given coin we are teaching them economics. When our children mow the neighbors lawn, and get $10 for 30 minutes of work...they start to wrap their mind around the concept. Maybe I missed this entirely. But economics are all around us, eveyday, in eveything we do. It took me a long time to understand this...but the lightbulb came on, when I realized I am spending huge amounts of money, even when I am just sitting doing nothing...utilities, the mortgage, taxes, insurance, etc the list goes on.
