Emma Spreng, Intro ,Question #2

In the intro, Wheelan is basically trying to convince us how important being educated in economics is, and that being economically literate will help us in the long run. He brings up a ton of different examples involving economics, that you might not think would have anything to do with it to prove to us how prominent it is in everybody's life. The example he uses talking about how when we purchase a car, we don't really pay for everything that has to do with owing an automobile. I found this interesting because I think it really proves how economics affects everyone, we just need to be aware of the bigger picture.
