"ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. as we prepare for takeoff on our journey through the esoteric world of economics, i'd like you to ignore any turbulence of overly complex preexplanatory theories we might encounter. we will not be taking orders from the ground of conventional thought; instead, let's go back to the start where the fascination with this subject began. today's flight plan is designed to make the esoteric aspects of economics accessible and engaging for everyone on board. thank you for choosing us for your intellectual voyage today."
