It’s the same with History class in high school, they’re going to teach you more about your country than others until you dive deeper academically because the base knowledge they want to teach is stuff that would be relevant to you. I didn’t major in econ but it was mandatory all 4 years. Once you get into macroeconomics they start discussing international econ more.

There seems to be some huge misconception that economics is what causes problems when economics is actually the diagnostic tool to explain what’s going on. The same backwards logic as people who think the inflation rate is set by a government or bank and controls how much prices should go up as opposed to a number calculated based on how much prices have gone up.
