Episode Description

An accessible dive into one of economics' most counterintuitive ideas: why trading what you're best at makes everyone better off—even if you're better at everything. We retrace David Ricardo's England vs. Portugal story, modernize it with Haberler's opportunity-cost framing, and examine Japan's dramatic switch to trade. From global value chains to personal career choices, learn how to apply comparative advantage to decisions big and small.
