ELI5: Why aren't all economics professors rich?
gpt
Because economics, even microeconomics, isn't "how to become a rich individual". It's the study of how markets and economies work.

Knowing how supply and demand work, or what the best international trade strategy is, or the most effective way to go about structuring the tax system, doesn't mean that you have a product people want to buy, the means to produce it, a way to bring it to market, or the political influence and mandate to implement your plans without compromising.
