How to Prepare for Economics for UPSC, What books to read, and most importantly why study economics?

We have covered some of those answer in this video. We will upload detailed episodes in future. Do subscibe to the Channel, and let us know what you think about this.

Economics can seem intimidating or unapproachable to some, particularly to those not majoring in business or economics. Here are some common misconceptions:

1. *"Economics is all about money and markets":* While economics does study the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services (which often involves money and markets), it's also about understanding human behavior, decision-making, and the allocation of resources. Economic concepts can apply to various aspects of life and society, not just the financial world.

2. *"You need to be good at math to study economics":* Although economics does involve some math, particularly at advanced levels, the fundamental principles of economics can be understood and applied without advanced mathematical skills. Introductory economics courses typically focus on conceptual understanding, and while some basic math may be involved, it usually doesn't go beyond high school-level algebra.

3. *"Economics is only for business people or policymakers ":* The concepts and skills learned in economics can be beneficial to anyone. Understanding economics can help people make better decisions in their personal lives, such as planning their finances or careers. It can also provide insights into social issues and public policies.

4. *"Economics is too theoretical and not applicable to real life":* While economics does involve theory, those theories often aim to explain real-world phenomena. Moreover, economists regularly use empirical data to test theories and make predictions. Economic principles can be applied to a wide range of real-world situations, from personal finance to public policy.

5. *"Economics is a 'dismal science' and is all about scarcity and limitations":* This misconception comes from a nickname for economics that originated in the 19th century. While economics does study how societies deal with scarcity, it's also about finding efficient and creative solutions to problems. Economics can be a tool for understanding and improving the world, not just highlighting its limitations.

Remember, studying economics can provide a useful framework for understanding and analyzing the world, even if your primary interests lie elsewhere.
