EFEB Speaker Shares Passion for Economics

The Economics, Finance, Entrepreneurship, and Business (EFEB) Concentration recently had its second Club Block Conversation, featuring a visit from Potomac parent Dr. Sebnem Kalemli-Ozcan, the Neil Moskowitz Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland, College Park. In her talk, entitled "Economics: What is it good for? Absolutely everything!" Dr. Kalemli-Ozcan shared her passion for economics as a way of thinking that can inform everything from running one’s everyday life to addressing the problems of the world. She included a discussion of the concepts of scarcity, opportunity cost, and the fact that businesses, individuals, and governments are interconnected in systems through economics. She concluded the conversation with an analysis of select global issues through an economics lens.
