What Does The World Look Like To An Economist (Masterclass by Ashish Kulkarni)

"What does the world look like to an economist? What are economists looking for when they look at the world? How do economists use this information to try and make the world a better place? In a fun (entirely the correct word, we promise you!) 90 minute session, learn about the questions that economists are taught to ask of the world, and how they use the answers to this question to do economist-y stuff. We'll use some online tools, we'll look at some data, and we'll learn to ask (and maybe even begin to answer) some truly important questions!
