"Econ 102" with Noah Smith and Erik Torenberg

NOTE

Perception of Own Financial Opportunities Drive Economic Behavior

The state of the national economy does not significantly influence people's perception of the economy; rather, individuals are more focused on their own financial opportunities for economic behavior. Positive economic outlook is mainly driven by personal financial prospects, such as the ability to make money with one's business.

Trump's appeal partly lies in his approach of reducing tax cuts for the wealthy.
