Have learned to markets several theories pertaining to fair pricing and to explain anomalies. But after my studies and thereby acquired overview of the economics, I realized that I had recruited a much better grasp of the actual functioning of markets since my early childhood.
No theory covers so well from the procedure, in reality, how the game horse-trading.
Irrational prices, panic buying, power of money and ultimately worthlessness of money, influence of money flooding (inflation = cash cow) on prices. Apart from the experimental perspective on the game, still belongs to a healthy assessment of other market participants to a successful Kuhhändler. This psychological aspect is also covered in economics only very inadequately.
In my opinion, better than any economics course. Thus, educational ne smooth one.
And who classifies as a game only for children, should rather steer clear and real markets.
