Economics Majors: Do you know Richard Thaler?
I have many students that want to major in Business, but the UCs and some other Liberal Arts schools only have Economics as their business major. So I was listening to a great podcast interviewing Richard Thaler, the Nobel Prize winner in behavioral economics, that was highly entertaining and also explained what behavioral economics is.

So to my business majors- start researching some economists to better write about your future major. Purdue does a good job of explaining the field. Read more here.
