both studied economics and look how
they turned out.

at least you will know why you are there.
7. If you rearrange the letters in

8. Although ethics teaches that virtue is
its own reward, in economics we get taught
that reward is its own virtue.

everyone that you are just researching the law of
diminishing marginal utility.
10. When you call 1-900-LUV-ECON and get
