sergey pikarsky sergey how can a student understand that economics is his? yes, here i am when, well, my children yes, when i teach how to choose universities and their acquaintances? i say, so there are two things. first. you must see how the information is presented on the site, how modern the information site is clearly structured. high school is the first next. you choose the faculties that you like and start reading the text. and now you should not be sick of these texts, because these will be the most frequent words that you will hear for the next 3 years, at least. here are some criteria you have as the deans of the faculty of economic sciences at the hse, according to which you can advise graduates. here is the economy - it's yours or not your? yes, indeed, we understand that the site is our face. in general, we need to display everything, but unfortunately, uh , the information on the sites very often lends itself, and in a form that just like that, applicants will not be interested in this sense, uh, i'm not sure that now is a schoolboy. e , who is going to enter university a can decide what he would like to do in economics or physics, probably, you still need to think about this a little earlier, but the main idea. how to understand, uh, the economy is for you or for you, the first consideration is very many people, uh, are confused in what is social science is what is humanities economics is not humanities. science is the science of society. and this means that we have completely different approaches to what we analyze and how we analyze, the second important criterion should not be in any case an allergy to higher mathematics. well, or just like mathematics, because modern economics is sorry, there were no taxes. it's not something that can be described in words. how much higher mathematics in economics, if you take the average that's not some specialized, scientific epidemic research is more than half less. exactly as much as i need to explain simply, because mathematics is a certain language and some formalizations. if we are considering economics, not finance, then in economics we really need to analyze and build arguments. and here in mathematics they really use exactly as much as they need. in finance , finance is still simpler - it's money. money loves an account . third, because really in economics and not, uh, as a rule, absolute houses, many things economists, uh, consider uh. so that try to avoid the final answer. and another good anecdote. and american president harry truman once joked in the english language there is such an idiom. he is a hand, he is for azaza on one side on the other side. he joked that he would like to have one hand in economic adviser in economics, reasoning is really very important. not very important complex but diverse approaches and in such a situation. indeed, there must be a craving for not having any one clear simple answer. and be prepared for what you need to think about. sergey, as a person who has been working for more than 25 years, i probably work in the stock markets, and there is also a lot of investments. it’s just a joke with various speculative strategies, when the presidents of an international investment company go to dinner in the middle of a skyscraper, and there is such a high-tech lift, without any buttons at all. without anything, just the wall is moving apart and the elevator and that's it. it's nothing you know where he is rides. here he is going to have lunch, the door opens, and there stands his department of strategic market analysis in full force. he looks at them like that, they are not my plasma, they say so. further swearing quickly up or down and without any of your stuff. yes, that's how such an attitude is expensive. well, here's the third point, in fact, the criterion. yes , the perception of the surrounding reality. there is such a fantastic story wonderful i don't remember the author of the noise level called about how it was al
