Why
Limited school offerings and misleading social media have hurt our understanding of decision-making. Covid only made things worse for both students and professionals. Economics, the study of human choices, helps explain unexpected outcomes and improve decision-making, but it needs to be more accessible.
As a former youth leadership board chair, I’ve seen critical thinking decline, especially post-COVID. Economics can help rebuild these skills.
UNRAVELING TWISTS covers topics in simple language—no math needed! Visuals like clipart and animations make it easy to understand. Understanding these ideas shouldn’t require years of education (and it doesn’t need to).
Combining economics with basic lessons in civics and history is key to creating thoughtful citizens. What side of an issue someone takes isn’t as important as knowing why they believe what they do.
Our discussions are evidence-based, focusing on data, logic, and human nature, not politics. The goal is to learn from each other and explore how reality often differs from the narratives we hear - sometimes by a wide margin
