A daily search for the better life

I love economics.

Because it provides answers to the most important questions.

For instance...

Why is unemployment high in some states and low in others?
Why aren't we making better progress with environmental protection?
Why are so many children dying of malnutrition?
Why are there wars when everyone wants peace?
Why is the world population growing?
Why do pension systems in affluent societies often have funding problems?
Why are there so many authoritarian states?
Why are emerging markets thriving?
Why is there so much corruption? And what can we do about it?
Why is the fight against drugs almost hopeless?
Why are traditional institutions in crisis?

There isn't an even more interesting science, is there?
