Episode #147: Economics in our schools and universities

Economics looks at what's happening in the world but recent media reports have charted the long-run decline in students studying economics at high school and a relative decline in students studying a Bachelor of Economics at university relative to STEM fields. This week, Diana is joined by Ash and Divita in a special episode looking at how economics is taught in Australia, the importance of financial literacy and critical thinking, and why studying global markets has never been more important.
