We often judge a person whether they have a good command of economics. We do not think of how many economic principles they remember, how many math models they can make, and how many economic stories they can tell. So what should we think about it? It is essential to think of whether he has a sense of economics.
We judge how well a person has studied economics, not by how many economic principles he can memorize and how many mathematical models he can build, nor how many historical stories he can tell. What are you looking at? The key depends on whether he has economic literacy.
So, what is economic literacy?
Economic literacy is a way of thinking.
Taking the war of China - America trading as an example, someone thinks America's target is to stop China from benefit trading condition. I think this idea may make sense of politics but lack of economic literacy. Some think the trading protection results in damage for both sides' welfare. I think this idea has basic economic literacy. Other people think that the trading fare is too high in the past; the conflict between both sides is a plan to negotiating rules, reducing trading fare. I think this idea has a good command of economic literacy.
Take the China-US trade war as an example. Some people say that the purpose of the United States is to contain China. I think this view may be in line with political literacy, but it lacks economic literacy. Others say that trade protectionism has damaged the welfare of the two countries. I think this view has basic financial literacy; some people say that the two countries' transaction costs in the past were too high, and the trade friction is aimed at renegotiating rules and reducing transaction costs. I think this kind of view has better economic literacy.
经济学思维是需要通过长期训练来提高的，一个人是否具备较好的经济学素养，从生活中一些大小事都可以看出来。我发现一些企业主长期在一线拼杀，就训练了不错的经济学素养。
如何才能提高经济学素养呢？
To improve economic thinking needs a long time to train. Whether a person gets good economic literacy, we can see some aspects of their daily life. Some entrepreneurs have many experiences dealing with a company problem; they trained better economic literacy.
How can we improve our economic literacy?
Economic thinking needs to be improved through long-term training. Whether a person has good economic literacy can be seen from some big and small things in life. I found that some business owners have been fighting on the front line for a long time, and they have trained in good economics.
How can we improve economic literacy?
学习经济学，提高经济学素养，需要掌握三点：第一点是凭借逻辑判断，而非道德情感，这是约束条件。第二点是从个体出发，而非整体，这是关键视角。第三点是领悟智慧，而不是熟记理论，这是训练方法。
最后，经济学素养是一种价值观。一个接受过系统的经济学训练的人，更倾向于自由交易、公平竞争、保护私产、尊重他人、理性共存，更富有同情心及人文关怀。
To learn economics and improve economic literacy need us to get three things; firstly, we should judge something rationally rather than emotionally; this is the restrained condition. Secondly, we should know something from an individual, instead of the whole body. It is an essential version. Thirdly, we should get to know wisdom rather than memorizing principles; it is a training method.
Finally, economic literacy is a value of life. Some people who have systematic training in economics prefer free trade, equal competition, protect property, respecting others, living rationally, and living sympathetic and kind.
To learn economics and improve economic literacy, three points need to be mastered: The first is to rely on logical judgment, not moral emotion, which is a constraint. The second point is to start with the individual, not the whole. This is the key perspective. The third point is to comprehend wisdom rather than memorizing theories. This is the training method.
Finally, economic literacy is a system of value. A person who has received systematic economics training is more inclined to free trade, fair competition, private property protection, respect for others, rational coexistence, and more compassion and humanistic care.
