About

My name is Darapheak, a University of Toronto graduate. I was in Economics specialist program. I never really enjoy studying, but I must admit that I enjoy Economics as much as, or even more than, I enjoy playing game.

This Economics blog is my own personal project. It is derived out of pure passion for Economics and the desire to share various knowledge related to the subject. Though I have just obtained my bachelor degree, I believe my understanding and knowledge of economics resulted from my zeal and devotion to this particular field of study should suffice to write simple economics articles for the greater good of the society, and choosing to do so online means that the knowledge sharing capability is boundless as it can be accessed from virtually every corner of the world. Self-improvement is also a target because by sharing, I can learn, especially from all the constructive criticism I may receive. Again, this is a personal project, and the goal is to keep it going until I can no longer write!

Oddly enough, my passion for Economics did not emerge until I attended my first ever Econ class. I was amazed and intrigued by it. It was the moment I finally decided that I had to make it into this program in my second year. Of course, it was not that easy getting into it, but I made it, and here I am, the author of Economind. If anything at all, the study of Economics taught me mostly about the defects of Economics, but at the same time, in-depth learning and researching taught me something else. It shows me that Economics is not practical and applicable when it stands alone, but only by combining different theories together and with various relevant knowledge, can an economist be able to understand its importance in almost everything, EVERYTHING.

As an Economist, you can work, if desire, in many different fields and organizations. You can start off your own business. You can work for various firms, banks, companies, or research institutions. You can work for the government, in a range of ministries, not limited to the Ministry of Economics. You can also work for international organizations such as the UN. That being said, I am not trying to inflate the value of this particular discipline, but I am just shouting out to those who are interested in this field so to enlighten their way.

Though my knowledge is still narrow and limited by the fact that I have only my undergraduate education, I assure you that every single article in this blog is not a rocket science. It requires some thinking if you are not familiar with Economics, but to most who have at least stepped once into the economic training ground, you will find it very easy and simple to understand.

I sincerely thank you for visiting the blog and spending your precious time to read whatever is in Economind.

May the Econforce be with you,
Darapheak
