Part 8/10:
The narrator challenges a current economic education model, arguing for a radical reevaluation of what is being taught to future economists. They pose a question that highlights the ambiguous metrics of 'success' and 'improvement' in the economy—are conditions truly improving for the poorest, or does the presentation of such statistics ignore crucial realities? They argue the importance of recognizing that for many ordinary individuals, existing inequalities are widening, and the elite few are insulated and indeed prospering from this.
