There is a common belief among people that if someone understands economics better, then they will get rich better or more easily. These two have little to do with each other. Understanding economics can help people understand WHY certain phenomena occur, such as inflation, unemployment, how corporations function, and how small businesses function. It will help you vote smarter, not to vote for populists who promise a lot of money and a government solution for everything - you will know that they are lying. If a larger share of the population had a better understanding of economics, we would have a more orderly and wealthy country. But understanding economics will not necessarily help you get rich personally.
