Personally, I've found the field of economics dense, frustrating and poorly written for the average student (though, shout-out to Khan Academy for being the lighthouse in the dark and stormy sea of entry-level econ learning). Most of the available information out there is either geared toward people that already understand the basics, or written in such fast-paced, vague and obfuscating language that we end up running in circles and struggling to keep up. Where is the hookup for those of us who learn best through step-by-step visuals and color-coded charts? I've seen only a few of these in the textbooks assigned by my professors, and they are rarely clear. It's been a nonstop uphill battle for me to keep up in my own pursuit of a degree in economics. Frustrated and confused, I have taken to drawing out my own charts and notes in cutesy bullet-journal formats. Holy crap, it has helped my comprehension so drastically! Econ is all about where visual graphing meets equation crunching. Let me help you bridge the gap where formal education seems to fall short.
Who am I to guide you? Just a fed up junior in the Environmental Econ & Policy degree path at Oregon State University. That's it. Those are my credentials. Consider me your college study buddy and let's get through this together!
Barbie Economics is designed to make the basics accessible, fun, and adorbs. Why shouldn't we have fun learning? Why shouldn't economic models and market pressure calculations come in pink? Economics students, let's Barbie this bitch.
