Russia's Economic Parts Shortage - Econ Lessons



Economics is is a science of interdependencies. Each piece depends on the other. Like a chess every piece depends on the other. The difference is there playing filed in a micro and macro economy is infinity more complex. Not just sixty-four square but an infinite number of combinations. When you start removing important parts from the equation it is like removing chess pieces from the board. Your economy will not do as well and in economic speak you will have a less than optimal outcome. I also mention the Star Trek Romulans and Chess as metaphors.
