Economics, stretched. One question worth another look.
The Margin is for students and teachers who want more than the syllabus. Each issue gives you one challenging question, of the kind that comes up in Oxbridge-style interviews and university study… or dare I say it.. just for the intellectual challenge of being pushed!
How it works:
The question: Have a proper go first. The struggle is where the learning happens.
Hints: Stuck? Open graduated hints one at a time.
The answer: a full worked solution arrives in the next post.
The Marginal Number: one surprising statistic, and what it really tells us.
P.S And in case you are wondering… Why "The Margin"? Marginal analysis, marginal gains, and the margins of what you've been taught: each issue goes just beyond the textbook, where the interesting questions live. Go get started below! The marginal clock is ticking…
