Hi, I'm Bret
I’m an economist by education and a commodity trader by profession. I have always been fascinated by the field of economics and how our individual decisions influence everything that we do.
Through this blog I hope to share my view of the world and how the field of economics has changed my life.
I hope you enjoy.
