Lecture 1 in “Becoming an Economist” at Kingston University

Summary:
Becom­ing an Econ­o­mist is the intro­duc­tory course on eco­nom­ics for under­grad­u­ates at Kingston Uni­ver­sity. This is the first of 11 lec­tures in the sub­ject; I’ll post the oth­ers as I write them over the next few months. This lec­ture dis­cusses why econ­o­mists dis­agree with each other, and draws analo­gies with astron­omy at the time when Galileo dis­cov­ered craters on the Moon, and moons orbit­ing Jupiter and Saturn.
