Amelia Vayda, Epilogue, Question 7

In the epilogue of Naked Economics, Wheelan discusses seven questions that he believes should be asked to help us see where the economy will be in a few years. While reading this last chapter I learned that our future economy is hard to predict because you don't know how changes that we make now will affect the future. Not knowing how the economy is going to end up is a little unnerving. There are many changes that could occur, for example how many hours people work or how many years people work. This introduction into a world of the unknown has changed my way of thinking. I always thought that how we live now will never change, but that is not exactly true. Now I see that we could have a totally different education system, work ethic, and even a different ratio between rich and poor. I get a new perspective that what we do now could either help or hurt us in the long run.
