Play with markets and economies directly, discovering economic principles through interactive experiment.
Econ Pragma turns economics into something you do, not something you study.
No lectures. No walls of text. Instead, you play with living markets — drag, slide, and experiment — and discover the rules for yourself. Only after you’ve felt how something works do we put a name to it.
It starts with a mystery: why do useless diamonds cost more than life-saving water? You’ll crack the famous Diamond–Water Paradox, then go on to advise failing businesses, cities, and whole economies as a high-end economic consultant.
HOW IT WORKS
• Play first. Every lesson opens with an interactive toy and zero instructions.
• Spot the pattern. Raise a price and watch customers walk away.
• Test it. Use what you just found on a new problem.
• Name it. Only then do you learn what the idea is called. Each lesson takes about two minutes.
